Program focus

Community Health & Nutrition

Stronger local care for healthier communities.

About the program

Health improves when knowledge, local leadership and responsive services work together. We support community and health-centre teams with practical capacity, stronger coordination and a focus on women and young people.

We provide training, leadership development and technical assistance to community and health-centre teams.

Why it matters

The strongest health systems begin close to home.

Communities need trusted information and capable frontline teams that can respond to local priorities. Our approach strengthens the people and connections that turn health and nutrition knowledge into everyday action.

What we focus on

Action that connects people, services and systems.

We address immediate barriers while helping build stronger conditions for the long term.

Frontline capacity

Training and technical assistance help local teams respond confidently and consistently.

Health and nutrition literacy

Practical information supports healthier decisions by individuals, families and communities.

Women and adolescent health

We keep the specific experiences and needs of women, girls and young people visible in local health action.

Stronger local connections

Community and health-centre teams work together to improve awareness, trust and access.

How change happens

Listen
