Joint Health Program, Phase 2

The main objective of the Joint Health Program (Phase 1 was approved in 2011) financed by AfD and KfW was to improve the hygiene conditions of the population in Cameroon, especially women and children. There are two specific objectives:

1. To improve access to and quality of services, and
2. to strengthen governance. 

The results of phase 1 of the program were as follows:

• Identification of 84 health centers (FOSA) to be rehabilitated and start of rehabilitation works in four regions of the country,
• carrying out health checks for 30,000 pregnant women in 2016, with technical support from CRDS,
• establishment of regional health promotion funds (FRPS) to improve drug management and financing of health services.

Phase 2 of the project is financed exclusively by KfW. The main objectives are to rebuild and equip approximately 20 additional FOSAs in two regions and to transfer the management of health checks to the regional health promotion fund (FRPS).
