• Strengthening health systems for transformational and sustainable change by working with communities and governments to address weaknesses and imbalances in the systems.
• Providing a continuum of care approach, from household counseling to community-based Timed and Targeted Counseling to encourage the adoption of behaviors that will lead to improved health outcomes.
• Capacity building
• Health system strengthening
• Ensuring gender equality, social inclusion, and disability integration to empower women and girls, and advocate for social justice and behavior change at all levels (individual, family, community, and society).
• Developing public and private partnerships with local governments and other stakeholders to expand and sustain service delivery and development in vulnerable communities.
