P001055001: This project aims to help reduce maternal, neonatal and child mortality through a comprehensive, integrated approach that promotes a continuum of care in seven communes in Haiti. The project aims to strengthen the health system and to make essential micronutrient supplements more accessible for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and for children under five. Project activities include: (1) improving the screening of pregnant women and children under five for malnutrition; (2) training and supervising community health centres' workers in Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH); (3) strengthening health coordination structures in their supervision, coordination and consultation functions of MNCH services; (4) promoting exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months and a healthy diet; and (5) restoring and equipping heath centres while respecting women’s rights and meeting environmental standards. P001055002: Doctors of the World works through local teams that are already part of the government's COVID-19 response plan. They also have partnerships previously established with community actors, civil society and health institutions in the two targeted departments of Haiti. As one of the sole organizations in the North-West, West and Artibonite Departments, Doctors of the World’s comprehensive responses are based on solid understanding of the local context and long-term experience in the country of intervention, with a particular focus on women, adolescent girls and children’s health. Expected activities include: � training health staff and increasing supervision of specific procedures related to COVID-19 including prevention measures, referral-systems and management of gender-based violence cases; � supporting access to mental health services for health workers under stress directly related to the pandemic response; and � disseminating information to the public related to COVID-19 using radio, sound trucks, SMS platforms, and social media in partnership with local organizations.
