In particular, the project aims to strengthen the reliability, consistency, and availability of gender-sensitive health data; increase participation and engagement by community members (women and men) in health services and health planning; strengthen institutional capacity to plan, budget, and deliver primary health care services; and strengthen local ownership and understanding of the project, to explore the potential of extending it into other states.
