Chad: Strengthened mother-child health care through involvement of village communities
Women in the health district of Abougoudam have access to reproductive health care and are empowered to seek it.
The villagers are more involved in the governance of the local health care system and they take part in developing solutions. This will sustainably strengthen the resilience of the village communities.
