Integrated Health Systems Strengthening Support to Improve Community Health Outcomes in West Africa
The Challenge
West Africa’s journey to sustainable health system interventions requires common visions and harmonized approaches to strengthen multiple health system’s “building blocks.” New models for financing and delivering quality health services are needed, especially to reach vulnerable and under-served communities.
The Opportunity
In West Africa, the Accelerator provides integrated health systems strengthening support to improve community health outcomes, better integrate communities with the formal health system, and promote universal health coverage.
