Access to the Right to Health in Conflict-Affected Northern Burkina Faso

FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-12

Summary
P008979001: Through building the capacity of health structures and community-based health delivery systems such as mobile clinics and community health care, this project will support improved and equitable access to health care services for conflict-affected populations, especially women and girls and populations furthest from health facilities. The project will also employ a community based approach to promote rights, reduce gender inequality and address issues related to reproductive rights and gender based violence (GBV) in insecure areas, including educating communities on women's sexual and reproductive rights, enhancing women's decision-making power, and advocacy on gender based violence (GBV). In addition, the project will contribute to Burkina Faso’s national response plan to the COVID-19 pandemic, and build capacity of health systems in northern Burkina Faso to better respond to the pandemic, and help prevent and manage future disease outbreaks. Project activities include: (1) Implementation of primary health care and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services, including the management and care of GBV, mental health, and psychosocial services for conflict affected populations; (2) Implementation of community health strategies, including direct delivery of services in conflict affected communities, such as IDPs and host communities; (3) Technical assistance provided to health authorities to respond and manage epidemics, including COVID-19; (4) Engagement with men and adolescents to change community behaviours and beliefs around the right to health, gender equality and gender based violence, in particular among host communities and IDPs. P008979002: The project aims to uphold the right to health, including the sexual and reproductive rights of women and girls affected by conflict, with a particular focus on internally displaced populations (IDPs) and host communities in northern Burkina Faso.

Description (French)
P008979001 : Le projet contribuera à faire respecter le droit à la santé, y compris les droits sexuels et reproductifs des femmes et des filles touchées par le conflit dans les régions du nord du Burkina Faso, en mettant un accent sur les populations déplacées à l'intérieur du pays (PDI) et les communautés hôtes. Ce projet soutiendra l'amélioration et l'équité en matière d'accès aux services de soins de santé pour les populations touchées par le conflit, en particulier les femmes et les filles et les populations les plus éloignées, en renforçant les capacités des structures et des systèmes de prestation de soins de santé communautaires tels que les cliniques mobiles et les soins de santé communautaires. Le projet utilisera également une approche communautaire afin de promouvoir les droits, réduire les inégalités entre les sexes et aborder les questions liées aux droits sexuels et reproductifs, aux violences basées sur le genre et au pouvoir de décision des femmes dans les zones d'insécurité. En outre, le projet contribuera au Plan de préparation et de riposte à l’épidémie de la COVID-19 au Burkina Faso, en renforçant les capacités des systèmes de santé dans le nord du Burkina Faso pour mieux répondre à la pandémie et aidera à prévenir et gérer les futures épidémies. Les activités du projet comprennent : (1) la mise en œuvre de soins de santé primaires et de services de santé et de droits sexuels et reproductifs (SDSR), y compris la gestion et les soins liés aux violences basées sur le genre, la santé mentale et les services psychosociaux pour les populations touchées par le conflit, incluant les personnes déplacées et les communautés d'accueil; (2) la mise en œuvre de stratégies de santé communautaire, dont la prestation directe de services dans les communautés touchées par le conflit; (3) l’assistance technique aux autorités sanitaires pour répondre et gérer les épidémies, y compris la COVID-19; (4) l’engagement auprès des hommes et des adolescents afin de changer les comportements et les croyances de la communauté en matière de droit à la santé, d'égalité des sexes et de violence sexiste, en particulier parmi les communautés d'accueil et les personnes déplacées P008979002 : Le projet contribuera à faire respecter le droit à la santé, y compris les droits sexuels et reproductifs des femmes et des filles touchées par le conflit dans les régions du nord du Burkina Faso, en mettant un accent sur les populations déplacées à l'intérieur du pays (PDI) et les communautés hôtes.
