Support for Child Health Days/Weeks - Vitamin A
This project aims to reduce child death rates and strengthen health systems through support for the implementation of child health days and weeks. Child health days and weeks involve community-based delivery of an integrated package of health and nutrition activities. They help to reduce inequalities in access to health care by bringing health services to communities in poor districts. This project represents part of CIDA's ongoing support for child health days and weeks. Project activities include: delivery of health and nutrition services at the community level, ensuring adequate attention to girls’ health, training of health workers, and improving monitoring processes to enable enhanced assessment and reporting of results. Vitamin A distribution is a key component of child health days and weeks and has been demonstrated to substantially reduce child death rates, prevent blindness, and reduce the severity of infections.
