Project Description
In support of Mali's second Ten-Year Health and Social Development Plan which covers the period from 2007 to 2016 (inclusive) this project provides direct support to its five-year operational program the Health and Social Development Program (PRODESS) in Mali’s Northern regions: Timbuktu Gao and Kidal. Canadian support targets community health centres relating to the provision of reproductive health services and community health associations in terms of their capacity to mobilize the community and to manage the community health centres. The project strengthens the capacities of decentralized health facilities in the regions of northern Mali. Unlike a similar project in the Kayes region which provides Canadian technical assistance this project calls on local Malians to provide the necessary technical support.

Results achieved as of the end of March 2012 include : The rate of prenatal consultation increased from 31% to 70% in Timbuktu from 34% to 65% in Gao and from 29% to 64% in Kidal. For the same period the percentage of the population with access to a community health center within 5 km increased from 21.3% to 51.8% in Timbuktu from 43.6% to 57% in Gao and from 23.8% to 47% in Kidal. In Timbuktu the rate of DTCP3 /PENTA3 vaccinations for children under 12 months of age increased from 58% to 83% and the rate of use of family planning services increased from 0.79% to 2.09%.
