Health Pooled Fund 3 Lot 17 (Aweil East) Year 5

This is the fifth and final year the Health Pool Fund 3 in South Sudan. IRC will continue to implement in Lot 17 (Aweil East). IRC will continue to implement the project with its local implementing partner (CEDS) and build the partner's capacity to ensure long term sustainability. As the consortium lead agency, IRC will continue to be accountable to the MOH and the HPF. The program aims to improve health and nutrition status for the population that saves lives and reduces morbidity (including maternal, infant and under-5 mortality). There are 4 key outputs of focus requested by the bid: (1) enhanced delivery of integrated health services through a network of health facilities; (2) expanded Community health services for the prevention and treatment of common conditions based upon the Boma Health Initiative Guidelines; (3) strengthened management of the Supply Chain for essential drugs and commodities; (4) stable health systems that are responsive and accountable to the needs of communities and individuals accessing health services. Additionally, there is also emphasis on cross-cutting aspects (gender and social inclusion/Conflict sensitive approaches/Continuous quality improvements), drug management, and sexual and reproductive health.
