The project fully supports: (1) the Government of the DRC (GDRC) policies and strategies for the health sector, as articulated in its Health Systems Strengthening Strategy (French acronym: SRSS) of June 2006 and revised March 2010; and (2) the 2011-2015 National Health Development Plan (French acronym: PNDS 11-15) of March 2010. The two major project components are services and other health systems. The service component includes increased use of high impact family planning, maternal, newborn, and child health (FP/MNCH), nutrition, malaria, tuberculosis (TB), neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), HIV/AIDS (limited interventions), and Water/Sanitation/Hygiene services (WASH), products and practices in targeted health zones. The other health systems component includes improved implementation of selected policies, program advocacy, and decision-making, particularly at the provincial levels.
