PROJECT HOPE NAMIBIA (PHN) OVERVIEW
Project Hope Namibia (PHN) is part of Project HOPE - the People-to-People
Health Foundation, Inc., a global health non-profit organization dedicated to
providing long-lasting solutions to health problems and improving the quality
of life for the world's most vulnerable people, especially women and children.
Project Hope Namibia has a broad range of health projects focusing on
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), reproductive maternal new-born and child health,
and non-communicable diseases. Our work has involved strengthening health
systems through established functional health management information systems
and strengthening the health work force to improve quality and delivery of
care. Project Hope Namibia has also been supporting COVID-‎19 Vaccination
Centers (CVCs) and mobile outreach teams, conduct training, and recruit
vaccinators and support staff to manage and vaccinate population with safe and
effective COVID-‎19 vaccines.
NASSL PROJECT BACKGROUND
Saving Lives and Livelihoods (SLL) is an Africa-wide partnership between
Africa CDC, all African Union (AU) Member States, MasterCard Foundation, and
different Africa-based implementing partners, including Project HOPE Namibia
(PHN). SLL aims to increase African Union (AU) Member States' COVID-‎19
vaccination capacity by helping to establish new or bolster existing COVID-‎19
Vaccination Centers (CVCs) in African countries, thereby achieving ‎60%
vaccination coverage among eligible populations. Project HOPE Namibia (PHN)'s
North Africa Saving Lives and Livelihoods (NASLL) project component supports
the provision of training, additional health workers and supplies to operate
fixed CVCs and mobile outreach vaccination teams. PHN and its partners will
work with MoHs and existing CVC managers to create surge staffing plans for
each CVC and mobile outreach team, train health worker cadres of and in, the
process, boost national EPI (Expanded Program of Immunization)'s capabilities
to administer vaccines while ensuring adequate data collection, monitoring,
tracking, information systems (including electronic health information
systems) as well as the necessary tools for data collection, analysis and
reporting are in place. Under the supervision and guidance by the PHN's NASLL
Project management team, various configurations of country-level staff and
local civil society partnerships are being engaged in the Northern African
countries targeted by the NASLL project".
