• healthy lifestyles and HIV prevention
• water and sanitation, environment and risk management
• learning for life

• protection for children and adolescents.

Over the past 3 years, Plan has agreed with the Ministry of Health to expand the coverage of health services to more communities and for it to gradually assume funding in the areas previously covered by Plan.

This year Plan’s focus is on working with communities to monitor and ensure they receive a quality health service – particularly for pregnant women and children under 5 years.
