Togo

Notre objectif est de faciliter l’accès à des soins de santé de qualité pour les populations rurales et du secteur informel, par le développement du mouvement mutualiste et de la protection sociale aux niveaux communautaire, régional et national, contribuant ainsi à la Couverture Sanitaire Universelle, en vue de protéger les individus contre les risques sociaux qui peuvent les faire basculer dans la pauvreté.

Pour y parvenir, avec nos partenaires locaux, nous apportons un soutien aux plateformes nationales du mouvement mutualiste togolais. Il vise l’harmonisation des pratiques au niveau national et l’opérationnalisation de la politique nationale de Protection Sociale en Santé (PSS). Nous menons aussi des actions de plaidoyer pour la prise en compte du mouvement mutualiste dans le dispositif de Couverture Maladie Universelle mis en place par l’Etat.

Par ailleurs, nous travaillons avec les Unions et Fédérations de mutuelles de santé, en vue de renforcer leurs capacités techniques (notamment à travers la digitalisation et utilisation des TIC) et de gestion, pour un meilleur accompagnement de leurs mutuelles membres. À travers ces Unions, nous veillons aussi à améliorer la qualité des soins dans les centres de santé conventionnés.

Enfin, nous accompagnons des mutuelles de santé communautaires, en soutenant leur développement, leur structuration et leur professionnalisation. Nous veillons également à l’articulation des mutuelles de santé avec les Initiatives d’Economie Sociale et Solidaire.

À travers les mutuelles, nous mettons aussi en place des actions de sensibilisation pour la prévention des maladies transmissibles et non transmissibles.

Our objective is to facilitate access to quality healthcare for rural populations and the informal sector, by developing the mutualist movement and social protection at the community, regional, and national levels, in order to protect individuals against social risks that may push them into poverty.

To achieve this, in collaboration with our local partners, we support the national platforms of the Beninese mutualist movement, to ensure they harmonize their practices. We also advocate for the inclusion of the mutualist movement in the Universal Health Coverage scheme implemented by the government.

We also work with Health Mutual Unions to improve their technical capacities (including digitization and the use of information and communication technologies) and management in supporting their member mutuals. These actions also aim to improve the quality of care in accredited health centres.

At a more local level, we support community health mutuals in their general operation, as well as in awareness-raising activities. These structures are effective tools for preventing noncontagious diseases such as diabetes, as well as breast and cervical cancers. They also play a role in providing women with information on sexual and reproductive health.

We also ensure that the work carried out by health mutuals is coordinated with local Social and Solidarity Economy Initiatives.

Burundi

Our aim is to facilitate access to quality healthcare for rural and informal sector populations by developing the mutual movement at community, regional and national levels.

To achieve this, we work with our local partners to support community health mutuals. This involves support for the governance and structuring of 7 mutual health organisations in the north of the country, as well as support for the health sector to improve the quality of care for mutual members. The national and regional federations, which lead and support the mutual movement and contribute to the process of setting up mutual associations in health districts, have also been strengthened.

In addition, we are carrying out community awareness campaigns. The aim is to promote mutual health insurance to encourage families and groups (social economy initiatives) to join. Mutual health insurance schemes are also used to inform women about sexually transmitted diseases, and to run mass screening campaigns for breast and cervical cancer.
