In the second phase of the Sudan Health Transformation Project (SHTP II), MSH is transitioning health service delivery from relief to development. Specifically, SHTP II is expanding access and coverage by:

  • enhancing quality of health services through an integrated package of high-impact services;
  • increasing demand through community mobilization;
  • engendering the community’s confidence in health services through strengthening of County Health Departments (CHDs) and the MOH.

MSH, in partnership with the International Rescue Committee, is working alongside as many as 12 international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) responsible for delivering primary health services in a target county. The goal is to establish fully functional service delivery points (FFSDP) with coverage of 80 percent of the catchment population in 12 focus counties within three years.
