2.4a.07 IRD

The project will equip three Primary Health Care Units (PHCU) in Mareng, Pakam and Pajut and construct one PHCU in Pagaak to meet the BPHS standard. 36 people or 40 percent of county health workers (CHW) and Traditional Birth Attendants (TBA) will be trained and certified by the Ministry of Health (MoH) trainers. The team will work with the four Boma Health Committees (BHCs) formed under CHESS and train an additional 13 BHCs linked to other county PHCUs. IRD will improve awareness of common health issues and increase demand for services through 16 health and hygiene campaigns (two per payam) while training 16. Alternative Education Systems (AES) instructors on health and hygiene issues. Throughout the project, IRD will strengthen the capacity of the County Health Department (CHD) and local authorities in health service delivery. IRD will improve associated water and sanitation services by working with 15 Village Water Committees (VWC) formed under CHESS and form an additional 15 linked to the boreholes rehabilitated near PHCUs.
