Project Overview:
The MOMENTUM Integrated Health Resilience (MIHR) Project, led by IMA World Health in collaboration with national partner, RCBIF, and funded by the U.S. Government, aims to improve maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) and nutrition outcomes in Burundi through an evidence-based integrated package of MNCH, Nutrition, and Immunization services at community and facility levels. MIHR and local partners will work alongside district health officials to develop contingency and early warning plans for infectious disease outbreaks and design a proactive, multisectoral approach for detection, response, and recovery. This project contributes to three key intermediate results: (1) increased access to and utilization of high-quality, integrated health, nutrition, and WASH services, (2) strengthened partnerships with local organizations to deliver lifesaving services, and (3) Improved adaptive management to prevent, detect, and respond to health emergencies.
The project will start in the southern province of Burunga in four proposed communes (Makamba, Rumonge, Buriri and Rutana), in collaboration with provincial/district health officials prioritizing highest need (absence of other MNCH partners, highest numbers of assisted deliveries and under 5 children, and lagging MNCH indicators). The eastern and southern regions of Burundi have a significant need for health and nutrition services due to high rates of malnutrition, poor access to healthcare, and food insecurity.
