Mentoring of RMNCAH (Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Adolescent health program) providers and multi-skilled community health workers
in the Far North, North, Adamawa, Center, and East regions
Background and Justification
The unsatisfactory situation of the RMNCAH in Cameroon is a major concern for the various health stakeholders and particularly reproductive health stakeholders. There is indeed a worsening or insufficient improvement of indicators, espacially:
- MMR increased from 430 to 782 deaths per 100,000 NV between 2004 and 2011
- MMR decreased from 41 deaths per 1000 NV in 1998 to 28 in 2014 (insufficient decrease).
- Infant and juvenile mortality rate dropped from 146 per 1000 NV in 1998 to 122 per 1000 NV in 2011, 103/1000 in 2014 (insufficient decrease)
However, the target of the Sustainable Development Goals is to raise the global rate
Main objective
The general objective is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of SRMNIA care in the FOSA of the regions of Adamaoua, North, Far North, Center and East selected in the project through the mentoring of clinical and community providers from 2018 to 2021
