Abstract

Medical Teams International is in the third year of implementing a four-year entry grant Child Survival Project (CSP) in Lira District in northern Uganda, funded by the USAID Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP). The project targets the 3 sub-counties that comprise the Erute North Health Sub-District and is implemented in partnership with the Lira District Health Office (DHO) and the four health centers in the target area. The project overall goal is to reduce child morbidity and mortality in Erute North Sub-district of Lira District in northern Uganda. The project has four key results/objectives: 1. Communities assume responsibility for their own health through strengthened community capacity (Village Health Teams, Parish Development Councils, and Health Sub-districts). 2. Improved health (Community-based Integrated Management of Childhood Illness) and child care (Early Childhood Development) behaviors among mothers of children under five years of age. 3. Improved quality of health facility services through strengthened Integrated Management of Childhood Illness and Maternal and Newborn Care capacity. 4. Strengthened institutional capacity of MTI and the Lira District Health Office to implement effective and efficient child survival activities.
