Hintergrund |
Kayin/Karen State in southeast Myanmar is affected by the civil war, with areas controlled by government and others by Non-state actors (NSA). Health systems hence exist in parallel and service delivery is weak on both sides following decades of underfunding. In NSA areas, health indicators are very low. |
Ziele |
Disadvantaged people in rural communities, including conflict-affected and vulnerable populations, have access to better basic health infrastructures and services and are enabled to contribute to local health governance through enhanced individual and organisational capacities. |
Zielgruppen |
The project will serve: a population of 380,000 in 672 villages, incl. |
