Healthprogramme South-Sudan

Context

On micro level problems are caused by lack of health awareness and education (incl. unsafe cultural practices and lack of facilities) within the target group and their community leaders.
On meso level these problems are caused by weak (local) government health capacity and structure and limited resources. This problem is closely linked to the challenges on macro level.
The conflict situation has been dragging on for decades, leading to complete devastation of the country, including the infrastructure (especially the Southern part) and a brain drain of qualified health (training) personnel, low living standard of the Sudanese people and loss of community knowledge on health, hygiene, nutrition, etc.

Aim of the programme

To tackle the above described problems, the program on Health and HIV/AIDS addresses the lack of Human Resources for Health, lack of well functioning health structures and lack of financial resources for health as well as lack of knowledge/awareness, causing lack of quality health services in Southern Sudan in the area of community health care, vaccination, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, prevention and treatment of disabilities, birth attendance, supply of medication and reproductive health services.

As can be seen from the figures in the baseline there is still a long way to go before realizing the objectives of the program. There is still a strong focus on DPA, because Sudan is still recovering from many years of civil wars. It is expected that in the coming years the other strategies will get more focus. This first year the role of the Share Alliance will become clearer.
