Our objective

• Strengthening and structuring the mutualist movement and contributing to the harmonisation of practices at the national level;
• Strengthening mutual insurance unions and federations by developing technical capacities (digitalisation, use of ICT, etc.);
• Liaising with social and solidarity economy initiatives to facilitate group membership of mutual societies for their members;
• Improving the quality of care in approved health centres;
• Raising awareness of the prevention of communicable diseases (malaria, HIV, etc.) and non-communicable diseases (diabetes, hypertension, breast and cervical cancer, etc.);
• Promoting good health practices in rural communities;

Our impact

This project enables vulnerable households, who are often forced to finance their own healthcare, to access quality care throughout the year, prevent catastrophic healthcare expenditure, and strengthen their socio-economic resilience.
