Many PHE projects implement activities that align with elements of HIPs in the Enabling Environment category through policy work with decisionmakers like ministers or county governors.2 PHE projects with a focus on sustainability often support policy implementation through training and public sector assistance, activities included in the Policy HIP.3 For example, the Mahefa Miaraka project in Madagascar supports the public health sector to manage a network of community health volunteers as part of a government plan to reduce maternal, child, and newborn mortality and morbidity.4 This project partners with the Ministry of Public Health and conservation organizations, and is part of the Madagascar PHE network. Thus, community health volunteers are cross-trained on the links between human and ecosystem health.
