DOCUMENTARY FILM PRODUCTION FOR ASURE HEALTH PROJECT
1. Introduction
Amref Health Africa, the largest African led international organization on the continent, provides training and health services to over 30 countries in Africa. Founded in 1957 as the Flying Doctors of East Africa to bring critical health services to remote communities, Amref Health Africa now delivers preventative, community-based health care. With a focus on women and children, Amref Health Africa manages a full range of medical and public health programs tackling the most critical health challenges facing country focusing on three key programmatic areas: Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (RMNCH); Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Communicable and Non-communicable Diseases. Gender and human resources for health are crosscutting, reflected throughout the organization’s health portfolio. Our organization also engages in clinical outreach interventions and emergency programs including nutrition and resilience building of affected the continent: maternal and child care, HIV & TB, malaria, clean water and sanitation and surgical and clinical outreach.
Amref Health Africa in Ethiopia in partnership with regional health bureau, bureau of finance and economic development and women’s and children affairs and with consortium members of Christian Aid, Women Support Association (WSA) and Ethiopian Interfaith Forum for Dialogue and Development (EIFDDA) has been implementing ASURE project in fifteen districts of Gamo Gofa, Segen Area peoples and Wolaita zones since January 2015.
The overall objective of the project is to help Southern Nation Nationalities and People region to achieve poverty reduction and improve the wellbeing of populations through better reproductive health and informed family planning choice with its expected outcome results of:
Ø Result 1: Contraceptive prevalence rates increased from 50.8% to 62.8% by 2020
Ø Result 2: Teenage pregnancy decreased from 5% to 1% by 2020
Ø Result 3: Increased access to focused antenatal care, postnatal care and institutional delivery
Ø Result 4: Increased institutional capacity to support and sustainably deliver wide choice of RH services
The project’s core implementation strategies are to strengthen the capacity of local authorities and communities to deliver innovative and sustainable sexual reproductive health (SRH) services through human resource capacity building, demand creation and system strengthening by using existing government and local structures like women health development team, women self help groups, youth groups, and institutions (schools, colleges, universities) and faith based organizations that will bring about long-lasting and sustainable change.
