The AWARE-RH project work focuses on identifying health financing models and health sector reform models that would address the constraints faced by programmes in financing health and increasing access to health services by individuals that need the services. The project supports advocacy work that aims to improve policy environment that enables these approaches and models to be implemented.

The project built a community of common response by engaging and linking selected regional health institutions. Is vision is to further develop a network of regional health institutions.

The project’s website aims to be an information sharing tool for programme models and practices among countries in the region. “To ensure that all key audiences can access the information, it launched a French language version of the site.

“The site works to strengthen family planning, maternal health, and child health services, malaria prevention and treatment, integration of reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention, health-sector reform, stakeholder advocacy, and capacity building for regional institutions throughout the region.”

The project involves the following countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Cote d_Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.
