About this grant

Pharo?s contribution will help support the training of 31% of the health workers supported by the overall project. Recognising that strengthening health systems effectively and sustainably requires interventions to be embedded in national health policy and strategies, this project uses the Ministry of Health?s (MOH) Health Extension Programme as a framework for its interventions, and sees MOH/DHMT as a key partner in the project for creating positive health change.
