This project provides technical assistance, seconded staff and financial assistance to Mozambique’s National Health Institute to support COVID-19 prevention and containment.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à accroître les connaissances, les capacités et la réponse aux surtensions du secteur de la santé publique du Mozambique pour la prévision et la modélisation, les tests, le diagnostic, le suivi des contacts et la formulation de politiques de santé publique afin de réduire la mortalité et la morbidité dues au COVID-19 dans le pays. Il fournirait une assistance technique, du personnel détaché et une aide financière à l’Institut national de santé (INS) du Mozambique pour soutenir la prévention et la maîtrise du COVID-19 grâce à 1) la modélisation et la prévision des maladies; 2) achat de kits de test et création de centres de test « sans rendez-vous » dans les communautés à haut risque avec des épidémies de COVID-19; 3) contrôle et la prévention des infections en augmentant la recherche des contacts, en transportant des échantillons d'essai pour le traitement et des diagnostics rapides (ces derniers lorsqu'ils sont disponibles); 4) le soutien des agents de santé, y compris la formation et l'équipement de protection individuelle.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased effectiveness of the Government of Mozambique's response with sensitivity to vulnerable populations, including women who bear a unique burden in the face of the pandemic; and (2) improved responsiveness and gender sensitivity of health system planning and policies adequately contextualized to the Mozambican context, ensuring the Mozambique government is responsive to the evolving pandemic with the latest evidence and technology to best serve its population and high-risk groups.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent: 1) une efficacité accrue de la réponse du gouvernement du Mozambique, qui soit sensible aux populations vulnérables, y compris les femmes qui supportent un fardeau unique face à la pandémie; 2) l’amélioration de la réceptivité et de la sensibilité aux genres à la planification et aux politiques du système de santé en tenant compte adéquatement du contexte mozambicain, en veillant à ce que le gouvernement du Mozambique soit à l’écoute de l’évolution de la pandémie avec les données et les technologies les plus récentes pour mieux servir sa population et ses groupes à haut risque.
