Since 1995, we have worked in the following technical areas:
Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment
Family Planning and Reproductive Health
HIV/AIDS and Infectious Diseases
Malaria Prevention and Treatment
Maternal, Newborn and Child Health
Infection Prevention and Control
Jhpiego is leading the five-year Improving Malaria Care project, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development. The project provided technical assistance for the prevention, diagnosis and case management of malaria, with specific emphasis on malaria in pregnancy and in children under five, as well as on improving the National Malaria Control Program’s capacity. Through this project, Jhpiego aims to: 1) improve malaria prevention in support of the National Malaria Strategic Plan; 2) improve malaria diagnosis and treatment interventions in support of the National Malaria Strategic Plan; and 3) strengthen the National Malaria Control Program’s capacity to plan, design, manage and coordinate a comprehensive malaria control program. Under an additional award through this project, Jhpiego will provide technical assistance in infection prevention and control (IPC) to support the Ministry of Health to train frontline, public-sector health care workers on IPC, and to provide supportive supervision and coaching to improve IPC practices in health care services.
With funding from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Jhpiego is supporting the prevention of antimicrobial resistance, an issue of increasing importance worldwide. The goal of the project is to improve local capacity to prevent, detect and effectively respond to infectious disease threats and prevent antimicrobial resistance. To reach this goal, Jhpiego is: 1) improving infection prevention and control at health facilities; 2) supporting development of a point prevalence of health care associated infections to strengthen referral and reporting systems across the health pyramid; and 3) supporting the tracking of antimicrobial use.
Under an initiative funded by a large anonymous donor, Jhpiego is strengthening pre-service education in Burkina Faso to increase the uptake of postpartum family planning (PPFP). This program aims to integrate PPFP into the pre-service education of midwives and obstetricians/gynecologists. Jhpiego is also providing innovative ways such as mobile mentoring (mMentoring) to keep new graduates and providers engaged with the information learned. Simultaneously, Jhpiego is providing postpartum family planning counseling and family planning methods to women.
This three-year project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, seeks to uphold the quality of contraceptive implant services by working at the global and country levels. Globally, Jhpiego serves in a technical advisory role for the Implant Access Program’s Operations Group—a working group comprised of donor representatives that supports quality implant programs—to monitor, identify and collaboratively respond to priority issues. Jhpiego also provides short-term technical assistance to ensure that several countries with high implant use, including Burkina Faso, incorporate a quality implant removal component into overall implant strategy and implementation.
