Grant Description

The objective of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Integrated Health Project (IHP) is to improve the basic health conditions of the congolese people in selected health zones. The objective contributes to the United States Government (USG) Country Assistance Strategy and emerging USG priorities in the Global Health Initiative (GHI). The project fully supports: (1) the Government of the DRC (GDRC) policies and strategies for the health sector, as articulated in its Health Systems Strengthening Strategy (French acronym: SRSS) of June 2006 and revised March 2010; and (2) the 2011-2015 National Health Development Plan (French acronym: PNDS 11-15) of March 2010. The two major project components are services and other health systems. The service component includes increased use of high impact family planning, maternal, newborn, and child health (FP/MNCH), nutrition, malaria, tuberculosis (TB), neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), HIV/AIDS (limited interventions), and Water/Sanitation/Hygiene services (WASH), products and practices in targeted health zones. The other health systems component includes improved implementation of selected policies, program advocacy, and decision-making, particularly at the provincial levels.
