Curamericas Consejo de Salud Rural Andino. Child Survival XIII Project Final Evaluation

摘要

Curamericas (formerly Andean Rural Health Care) and its counterpart non-governmental organization in Bolivia, Consejo de Salud Rural Andino (CSRA), began the implementation of a Child Survival (CS) XIII project in October 1997, in the Alitplano region of Bolivia. The overall goal of the CS Project was to improve child survival and reproductive health practices, targeting men, women, adolescents (15-18 years old) and children (0 to 5 years of age). The project covered four geographic areas near Lake Titicaca: Ancoraimes, Carabuco, Ambana, and Puerto Acosta. During the four years of project implementation, Curamericas/CSRA focused on working with municipal governments to scale up child survival and primary health care services, increasing community capacity in health decision making, strengthening the capacity of Curamericas to provide leadership in the development of sustainable CS and primary health care systems, and improving the capacity of CSRA to provide sustainable, long-term primary health care within the evolving municipal structures of Bolivia.
