Health Poverty Action works with some of the poorest and most marginalised communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, often in very difficult environments. We work to enable these communities to achieve improvements to their health, promoting this as one of their fundamental human rights. In May 2011 HPA received an award of a grant contract with the European Union to implement a cross-border MCH project covering Mandera County in Kenya and Dolo Ado District in Ethiopia. The project will be implemented in close partnership with local NGO partners and the Ministry of Health on both sides of the border. The overall objective of the project is: “Improved health outcomes for pastoralist mothers and children in Ethiopia and Kenya towards the achievement of MCH related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)” The baseline survey, which will specifically cover the Kenyan side of the border i.e., Mandera County, will have the following components, 1) Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice and Behaviour (KAPB) of individuals, households and communities in the areas of maternal and child health (MCH) including immunization, maternal health emergencies, Harmful Traditional Practices (HTPs), HIV/AIDS and other STIs, and 2) Facility Assessment Survey (FAS) of target health facilities, located in Mandera East, Mandera North, Lafey and Banisa.
