Published purpose

The project focuses on the delivery of multiple and complementary interventions to support and build up the infrastructure, training, and sustainability of essential health services particularly relating to maternal and child health at the level of multiple rural communities across Benin and Togo. The project comprises a concentric health clinic model seeking to improve: (i) access to clean water; (ii) training in healthy practices and gender equality; and (iii) maternal, newbord and child health (MNCH) across nutrition, clinical prevention and disease management domains. The beneficiaries are mothers, pregnant women, newborns and children under five. Other direct beneficiaries include clinic workers equipped and trained, other women villagers involved in leadership opportunities, and all villagers through equitable access to an environmentally sustained clean water source and training in healthy practices. GAIN Canada works closely alongside GAIN Bénin, GAIN Togo, Alliance de santé communautaire Canada Bénin (ASCCB) and Vision, initiative et engagement pour la santé (VIES) in order to implement this project.
