Integrated Challenges, Integrated Solutions
Afya Uzazi (“healthy parenthood” in Kiswahili) is a five-year project funded by the United States Agency for International Development and implemented by a consortium of partners. It aims to improve access to FP/RMNCAH services and address the underlying connections to natural resources, livelihoods, and household well-being.
Among its activities, the project applies a well-known community development approach called Population, Health, and Environment (PHE), which uses integrated activities to cut across different but related sectors, such as reproductive health, primary health, and natural resources management, to reinforce the interconnected nature of the difficulties communities face.
