In collaboration with Last Mile Health (LMH), FAH is providing comprehensive support to enhance the capacity and effectiveness of health systems in our partner countries. Our key areas of focus include:
- Technical Assistance to the Ministry of Health: FAH and LMH provided strategic technical assistance to the Ministry of Health during the planning and implementation phases of the Global Fund Catalytic Fund. This support is crucial for maximizing the impact of the Fund’s resources, ensuring that they are directed towards high-priority areas that will yield the most significant health outcomes.
- Development and Scale of Digital Blended Learning for Health Extension Workers (HEWs): FAH and LMH are spearheading the development and scaling of a digital blended learning platform designed to train Health Extension Workers (HEWs). This innovative approach combines online and in-person training methods, enabling HEWs to acquire essential skills more efficiently and effectively, ultimately improving healthcare delivery at the community level.
- Strengthening Capacity for Access to the Africa Frontline First Catalytic Fund (AFF-CF): Building on the foundation laid by the BIRCH initiative, FAH and LMH are preparing countries to access and utilize the Africa Frontline First Catalytic Fund (AFF-CF). This preparation includes capacity building, strategic planning, and resource mobilization, ensuring that countries are well-equipped to leverage the AFF-CF.
- Gender Integration in Health Programming: FAH and LMH are committed to integrating gender considerations into all aspects of our health programming. This includes designing and implementing interventions that address the unique health needs and ensuring that gender-sensitive approaches are embedded in health policies design and practices.
Through these targeted initiatives, our aim is to empower health systems, enhance the skills of frontline health workers, and ensure that health services are accessible and equitable for all, particularly in underserved communities. Our partnership with LMH is driven by a shared vision of achieving lasting improvements in global health outcomes.
