81275768-Amélioration de la qualité et de l'utilisation des services de santé de base dans la région centrale du Togo

In Togo, the health situation of the population continues to stagnate at a low level and since 2013 this is reflected, among other things, by an unchanged neonatal mortality rate of 27 per 1,000 live births (Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, MICS 2017). At the same time, the birth rate of 4.8 children per woman and the maternal mortality rate of 401 per 100,000 live births (Demographic and Health Survey, DHS, 2013) are among the highest in the world. Although contraceptive prevalence has increased from 16.7% to 20.3% since 2016, unmet need for family planning remains very high at 33.6% of women. The project "Health System Strengthening - Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights" (ProSanté) financed by the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and is part of a joint programme with the German Development Bank (KFW). ProSanté aims to improve the quality and use of basic health services, particularly in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), in Togo. The first component of the project supports the operationalisation of a national quality management system, the second component informs communities about a range of sexual and reproductive health topics, the third component aims to improve the Ministry of Health"s steering and management capacities and the fourth component increases the country"s preparedness and response capacities to epidemic-prone diseases such as COVID-19. The project is implemented on a multi-level basis: the Togolese Health System and MoH (macro), the regional health authorities (meso) and healthcare facilities and communities (micro). The project has a duration of 3 years and two months (from 11/2020 to 12/2023) and a total budget of EUR 14.140.000.
