Timeline: 2024 – 2027
Partner(s): Government of Tanzania (Ministry of Health), local organizations

Gender-responsive care
Project Summary
The Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies project supports efforts to improve access to antenatal and maternal healthcare services for women and girls in underserved communities in Tanzania.
Working with local health systems and community partners, the project combines health worker training, portable ultrasound technology, community outreach, and systems strengthening to support earlier identification of pregnancy-related complications and improve access to maternal healthcare services.
The project also promotes greater awareness of maternal and reproductive health and supports more gender-responsive approaches to care.
Why It Matters
Many women in rural Tanzania face significant barriers to accessing timely maternal healthcare, including long travel distances, limited diagnostic services, shortages of trained health workers, and social barriers that delay care-seeking.
These challenges can lead to preventable complications during pregnancy and childbirth for both mothers and newborns.
Enhancing Sexual and Reproductive Health for Women and Adolescents (ESWA)
Location: Amhara and Oromia Regions, Ethiopia
Timeline: 2019–2025
Funding Partner: Global Affairs Canada
Partners: Government of Ethiopia and local stakeholders
Project Overview
The Enhancing Sexual and Reproductive Health for Women and Adolescents (ESWA) project works to improve access to sexual and reproductive health services, education, and rights for women and young people in rural Ethiopia.
By strengthening health systems, expanding SRHR education, and addressing harmful gender norms, the project helps build healthier, more equitable communities where women and adolescents can make informed decisions about their health and futures.
Why It Matters
Many women and adolescents in rural Ethiopia face barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health services, including limited healthcare access, child marriage, early pregnancy, and gender inequality.
ESWA addresses these challenges through a comprehensive approach that combines healthcare, education, youth engagement, and community awareness.
