Improving WASH in the Informal Slum Settlements of Addis Ababa
Akaki and Yeka sub cities in Addis Ababa have informal slum settlements that are characterised by an absence of WASH infrastructure, poor hygiene practices and service utilisation, weak capacity of WASH service providers, limited employment opportunities and lack of community participation; 18.2% of the community do not have access to a latrine, 32% of people have no access to water, 96% of latrines do not have hand washing facilities and 15.5% of children have diarrhoea (Manye 2012). There are a lack of latrines in schools, and liquid waste often drains to open ditches, rivers and sources of drinking water. Women who often share the community’s responsibility for waste disposal usually do not have the tools or prior education on safe water collection. This project was to overcome these health challenges among urban slum dwellers by improving WASH services and behaviours. 16,608 people directly benefitted, including children, WASH income generating groups, women’s groups and traditional leaders, and 122,683 inhabitants indirectly benefitted.
Improved access to safe, affordable and adequate WASH services; Improved hygiene and sanitation practices and increased use of water sources among slum community members; Increased management expertise and capacity of local water and sanitation service providers; Increased community engagement and capacity for decision making around WASH service provision in slum communities.
Children; 36 Microenterprise Groups, Women’s Groups and Traditional Leaders

Prevention, Management and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases and Infectious Diseases in Kenya
This project, from June 2018 – May 2020, is to capacity build frontline health care workers to deal with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and infectious diseases (IDs) across Nairobi, Kakamega, Nyeri and Kilifi counties in Kenya. This will occur through enhancing the capacity of the health care workers to ensure quality management of diabetes, childhood asthma, pneumonia and diarrhoea. Health workers will be trained, community-based disease surveillance will be strengthened, mobilisation and advocacy activities will occur, and monitoring and evaluation will be facilitated to generate evidence for policy and practice change. The project will reach a total number of 3,413 direct beneficiaries (mainly healthcare providers). In addition, 4,000,000 indirect beneficiaries will be reached through trained health workers and community outreach activities.
To train middle-level health workers on effective management and control of NCDs and IDs regarding prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care; To strengthen community-based disease surveillance and community mobilization advocacy to increase public awareness for prevention and better management of NCDs and IDs; To conduct monitoring and evaluation to generate and use evidence on NCDs and IDs management and control for policy and practice change to promote healthy lifestyles and quality care.

Prevention, Management and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Primary Healthcare Re-Engineering Strategy in South Africa
The goal of the project is to enhance the prevention, management and control of the most prevalent NCDs obesity, hypertension and diabetes at community and healthcare facility levels in Gauteng and Limpopo provinces in South Africa. The project takes a 'Training of Trainers' approach whereby current healthcare workers who are already on the government’s payroll will be retrained. New frontline health workers will be hired and trained through governmental resources. The project will strengthen community knowledge and awareness of NCDs and increase utilisation of community-based disease surveillance for early detection and referral. Collected data and documented experiences will be used to develop and advocate for best clinical and diagnostic practices. This innovative, value-for-money approach to training aims to rallentando the growing exponential curve of obesity, hypertension and diabetes diagnoses in the population.
To strengthen regional Training Centres in Gauteng and Limpopo provinces to sustainably address human resources for health challenges in terms of numbers and skills development for prevention, management and control of obesity, hypertension and diabetes; Community and health facility based Health Workers capacitated to effectively prevent, manage and control NCDs; Increased awareness and improved knowledge and understanding of NCDs in the general population; Increased knowledge of associated lifestyle risk factors (with increased adoption of healthier lifestyles) and awareness of the need for early diagnosis and adherance to treatment; Strengthened community based disease surveillance systems in the provinces; Knowledge and strategic information generated to inform policy, planning and practice to influence prevention, management and control of NCDs at district and provincial management levels; Greater and more sustainable involvement of community health workers
214,260 women; 183,236 men; 214,260 youth; 878 healthcare professionals; 750 community health workers. Total number of direct beneficiaries is 613,384.

Uzazi Uzima: Improving Maternal, Newborn and Child Health in Simiyu, Tanzania
The project aims to address maternal and newborn mortality in the Simiyu region of Tanzania by improving the capacity of the local health system to provide quality health services, and empowering and educating communities to access better reproductive, maternal, newborn, adolescent and child health (RMNCAH). The activities are a continuation of Amref’s previous Uzazi Uzima project which was delivered from 2011-15 in the same region, building on the successes and lessons learned to continue to tackle maternal mortality, poor child health and systematic weaknesses in the health system. The total cost of the project is £5,906,244 from 2015-2021, and Amref Health Africa UK is responsible for £467,187 of this total to fund activities in 2018-21.
Enhanced knowledge and skills among female and male health workers to deliver comprehensive maternal care, essential newborn care and family planning services; Increased awareness among women, youth and adolescents, boys and girls to RMNCAH and nutrition services including the significance of male involvement in RMNCAH; Community members sensitized on health service charter on their rights, roles and responsibilities to access RMNCAH, WASH and Nutrition services.
In total, this will benefit 868,419 people, representing 50% of the total Simiyu population (Census, 2012). Training, orientation, community interventions and school programmes will serve 173,683 women, men and children. Direct training and capacity building will also occur for 3658 health workers and health facilities, and a further 694,736 community members will also be indirect beneficiaries of the project through participation in health message promotion activities at the community level and through local media.
