Our diverse and experienced team is exploring how social enterprise models can help address South Sudan's high child and maternal mortality rates. Working with BRAC, the South Sudan Ministry of Health and South Sudanese and other international partners, we are researching novel social enterprise approaches for mobilizing community health workers to deliver basic primary health care, medicines and knowledge to vulnerable populations in conflict-affected areas.
This Project is being carried out with funding from the Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa initiative, co-funded by Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) as well as Grand Challenges Canada.
