Improving Primary Health Care Services Delivery

As part of its commitment to ensuring Universal Health Coverage (UHC), Ethiopia aspires to provide the full spectrum of essential, quality health services through strengthening the primary health care (PHC) system. IPHCSD is a five-year initiative implemented between March 2022 and March 2027 focusing its interventions in Afar, Gambella and Somali Regions, while our partners, JSI, will implement similar interventions in Oromia and Southern Regions. The goal is to build on current and upcoming contributions and commitments and the Health Extension Program (HEP) which is the entry point to the health system and a foundational component of the P HC and inform broader PHC service delivery redesign.<\/p>\n

Our Geographic Footprint <\/h2>\n

We work in eight regions that represent agrarian, pastoralist, and agro-pastoral contexts of Ethiopia. Amref Health Africa operates in pastoralist and agro-pastoralist areas while JSI operates in agrarian areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Approach<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Our approach entails working through national P HC coordination platforms and using a Networks of Care approach to test PHC service delivery models. We provide technical assistance to build local health system capacities through partnerships and collaboration. We employ iterative implementation and learning approaches, ensuring gender intentional program implementation design. After a six month co-design period, we will pressure test our solutions for two years and scale up at subnational and national levels for the final two and half years of the project.<\/p>\n
