ACHAP AFYA

ACHAP Afya is a USAID-funded program in Kenya’s Kilifi County and Uganda’s West Nile region. The program aims to reduce maternal and child sickness and death in Kenya and Uganda by implementing high-quality community health interventions for reproductive health; family planning; maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health; nutrition; and water, sanitation, and hygiene.

The project is led by the Africa Christian Health Associations Platform (ACHAP), with the Christian Health Association of Kenya as the local partner in Kilifi County. It leverages the large faith-based platform provided by ACHAP’s local partner organizations, which can be used to reach most targeted local communities with health care services. It has directly involved the Kilifi county and sub-county health management teams and local leadership in its planning and start-up activities. ACHAP Afya will continue to build the capacity of local community health teams, community leaders and the health management teams to ensure sustainability.
