Cross-cutting evaluation – Community health

Community health is an essential pillar for strengthening the resilience of health systems and ensuring equitable access to care. It relies on a participatory approach that aims to actively involve communities in managing their health, by utilizing tools such as peer education and decentralized strategies (mobile services, advocacy) to improve access to care and strengthen local capacities.

Eight projects funded by L’Initiative underwent a cross-sectional evaluation, allowing for key insights in community health to be drawn. This evaluation identified ways to strengthen the sustainability and impact of interventions. The recommendations aim to improve the ownership of projects by national systems and maximize their long-term effects.
