Our Projects

Strengthening accessibility and quality of maternal and newborn health

Adolescents and Children, HIV Incidence Reduction, Empowerment, and Virus Elimination (ACHIEVE) aims to reduce maternal, neonatal, and child mortality and morbidity by improving accessibility, quality, and continuity of care across the continuum of primary and referral-level pregnancy, childbirth, postnatal, and early childhood health services.

  • We strengthen accessibility and quality of maternal and newborn health services to reduce mortality and morbidity during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the postnatal period.

  • We improve the accessibility and quality of child health care services to reduce child mortality and morbidity, including improvements in immunization coverage.

  • We strengthen the health system, including an improved continuum of MNCH care and enhanced data systems to guide effective decision making.

For several years, we thought that our poor vaccination performance was linked to coverage issues or an overestimation of the target population. Thanks to the data quality audit conducted with the support of Jhpiego, we discovered that it was essentially a coordination problem in data entry. Once corrected, our performance improved significantly.
