About

The Liberia USAID-Monrovia is accepting proposals for the Advancing Community Health Activity Program to improve and sustain equitable access to an essential package of integrated quality services at the community level to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality.

This program will improve and sustain equitable access to an essential package of integrated quality services at the community level to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality. 

Components

• The activity has three components:

  • Improve quality and integration of community-based services: (preventative, promotive/preparedness/response): In targeted counties, the activity will recruit, train, deploy, and supervise community health assistants and may include engagement with other cadres such as community health promoters including trained traditional midwives (TTM), and community animal health workers (CAHW), and CHHSs. This component also includes CHW training, operations, and supervision for early detection and reporting of Community Event-Based Surveillance triggers including zoonotic diseases.

  • Strengthen leadership, governance, and financing of the National Community Health Program: The activity, in coordination with other donors, will engage at the national level with government, and other partners/stakeholders to strengthen leadership to improve the enabling policy and financing environment in support of community health programming.

  • Enhance Evidence-based Decision Making: This component will contribute to improved capacity among community health stakeholders to collect and use data, apply lessons learned and increase programmatic accountability to inform program supervision, quality improvements and implementation adjustments.
