WVI is proposing an integrated Primary Health Care and Water and Sanitation project that will address the poor health system infrastructure, weak capacity of health human resources, and unimproved home and community health practices in Tambura and Ezo Counties, Western Equatoria State. The .project builds upon the gains made and lessons learnt from the just concluding Basic Services Improvement project. This project
has been planned, and will be implemented and monitored in coordination with the line Ministries at the State and County level and within the mainstream health service delivery system. In addition, the project will utilize
community-based health service support structures in an effort to improve behavior and care seeking practices and strengthen access to and quality of preventative health services. WVI will partner with a local NGO, Diocese of Tambura and Yambio (DoTY), through a sub grant mechanism; through this partnership WVI will continue to strengthen their technical and project management capacity. This project will target a total of 135,2282 beneficiaries; out of which 9,301 are children under 5, and 17,700 are women of child bearing age. As part of capacity building the project aims to train 68 health workers of different cadres, 40 TBAs, 10 Home Health Promoters; 90 members of Village Health Committees, 16 CHD team, 72 members of water management committees and 216 pump mechanic.
