The U.S. and Philippine governments celebrated the completion of three U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) health projects which have improved the health of Filipino women, infants, and children. USAID invested Php4 billion nationwide between 2013 and 2018 to expand quality health care for mothers and newborns, reduce teen pregnancies, and support couples to achieve their desired family size.
Back in 2013, the U.S. government partnered with the Department of Health to implement three major family planning and maternal and child health projects: LuzonHealth, VisayasHealth, and MindanaoHealth.
Through these three projects, USAID has contributed over 4 billion pesos to address the problems associated with lack of access to family health services and teen pregnancy.
U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Y. Kim announced the Marawi Response Project, a Php1.35 billion ($25 million), three-year U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) program designed to improve economic and social conditions of communities directly affected by the Marawi Siege.
The U.S. Embassy in the Philippines and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) celebrated the success of USAID’s six-year, Php1.35 billion partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in strengthening the country’s forest and biodiversity conservation.
More than five years ago, the United States Agency for International Development formed a partnership with the DENR to protect the Philippine forests. Today’s event celebrates the many milestones that we have achieved together through the B+WISER project.
