Stronger systems for lasting health

Sustainability is a cross-cutting priority in the MCHF Strategic Plan. The framework favours approaches that communities and local institutions can own and sustain beyond individual project funding.

Community–facility linkages are one part of that ambition. Planned activities include assessing barriers to access, strengthening referral pathways, supporting community-based referral and follow-up, and helping people understand available services.

Frontline capacity is another. The plan provides for mentorship, coaching, continuing learning and training materials based on identified needs, including support for community health workers and frontline personnel.

Quality improvement is developed with health authorities and facilities. Strategic activities include service assessments, quality tools, monitoring of delivery challenges and documentation of effective practices.

Partnerships connect these priorities. Government, universities, civil society, development partners and private-sector organisations are invited to contribute through collaboration, coordination, research and resource mobilisation. Specific partners and achievements will only be named when officially confirmed.
