Health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

Strategic objective: Increase in children protected from diseases and infections (0-5)

Integrated health and WASH interventions contribute to the reduction of preventable childhood diseases such as malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea and other communicable diseases.

Health projects in fiscal year 2022 focused on strengthening the capacity of Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) to increase knowledge and awareness, leading to behaviour change at individual and household levels in maternal and child health practices.
