Community Health Partnership Program
In the next five years, the Foundation will work with fifty municipalities – ten municipalities forming a cohort each year – whose local government and community leaders have made a commitment to improve health indicators in their respective localities. Through its Community Health Partnership Program, ZFF aims to improve health outcomes of the poor in these communities by making local health delivery systems more equitable.
The two-year program incorporates local partnerships between the government, represented by the local chief executives (mayors) and municipal health officers, and the private sector, represented by selected socio-civic leaders. Specific improvements in the health status of the community, measured in terms of lower child and maternal mortality, lower incidence of malnutrition, and lower morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases, are the expected outcomes from health interventions generated by the partnership.
