The project aims to improve the health of populations living in four regions in Mali (Kayes, Tombouctou, Gao, and Kidal), with a primary focus on women and children. Project objectives are: improvement of health services management by key stakeholders (community health associations, territorial communities, and decentralized health institutions); improvement of the quality of social and health services provided to populations in the four regions, specifically targeting women and children; and increasing the usage by these populations of preventive and curative health services. The project supports the Ministry of Health in implementing its sector strategy, focusing on improving geographic and financial accessibility of health services, meeting demand, improving service quality and usage, and building institutional capacity. Through the technical assistance (International Health Unit consortium/CARE Canada/Centre for International Studies and Cooperation (CECI)) as well as the direct financial assistance components, this project supports the Division for Regional Health (DRS) and the Division for Regional Social Development (DRDS) in the regions of Gao, Kidal, Tombouctou and Kayes. The project supports civil cociety through the Fédération nationale des associations de santé communautaire (FENASCOM) and its members as well as the community health associations (ASACOs). It also provides support at the local level to community associations to which the Government of Mali has transferred health care capacities.
