Reproduktive- und Familiengesundheit &lt;![CDATA[The programme Promotion of Reproductive and Family Health in Guinea builds on Germany&apos;s long-standing commitment in the sector. However, with the Ministry of Health as the executing agency and the pilot implementation of a performance-based financing mechanism for health services, the programme represents a new form of cooperation. The spread of the Ebola epidemic in Guinea has exposed and further exacerbated the weaknesses of the Guinean healthcare system. Its core problems include the desolate state of the infrastructure, chronic underfunding, particularly of peripheral healthcare facilities, and a lack of qualified staff. This is reflected in the poor state of health of the population, particularly in the area of reproductive health. This is where the programme comes in: The rehabilitation, expansion and equipping of peripheral health facilities (infrastructure component, component I) is linked to a new financing mechanism for the reimbursement of reproductive health services (reimbursement fund, component II) in order to improve the supply of high-quality reproductive health services. In addition, the demand for reproductive health services is increased through awareness-raising and communication measures (Component III).The aim of the project is to increase the supply of and demand for high-quality reproductive health services in the programme regions and thus improve the health of mothers and newborns in the programme regions.The target group of the project is the Guinean population in the programme regions with a focus on women of childbearing age and newborns.The project is being implemented in the programme regions of Kindia and Boké. A financing volume of EUR 15 million is available. The Guinean counterpart contribution amounts to EUR 450,000.]]&gt; Promotion de la santé reproductive et familiale Das Programm Förderung der reproduktiven und Familiengesundheit in Guinea knüpft an das langjährige Engagement der FZ im Sektor an. Allerdings stellt das Vorhaben mit dem Gesundheitsministerium in der Trägerrolle und der pilothaften Implementierung eines leistungsbasierten Finanzierungsmechanismus für Gesundheitsdienstleistungen eine neue Form der Zusammenarbeit dar. Die Ausbreitung der Ebola-Epidemie in Guinea hat die Schwächen des guineischen Gesundheitswesens offengelegt und weiter verschärft. Zu dessen Kernproblemen zählen ein desolater Zustand der Infrastruktur, eine chronische Unterfinanzierung v.a. der peripheren Gesundheitseinrichtungen, sowie ein Mangel an qualifiziertem Personal. Dies äußert sich in einem schlechten Gesundheitszustand der Bevölkerung, besonders im Bereich der reproduktiven Gesundheit. Hier setzt das Vorhaben an: Die Rehabilitierung, Erweiterung und Ausstattung von peripheren Gesundheitseinrichtungen (Infrastrukturkomponente, Komponente I) wird mit einem für Guinea neuen Finanzierungsmechanismus für die Erstattung von Dienstleistungen der reproduktiven Gesundheit (Erstattungsfonds, Komponente II) verknüpft, um das Angebot an qualitativ hochwertigen Dienstleistungen reproduktiver Gesundheit zu verbessern. Ergänzend wird durch Sensibilisierungs- und Kommunikationsmaßnahmen die Nachfrage nach Dienstleistungen der reproduktiven Gesundheit erhöht (Komponente III).Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, das Angebot an und die Nachfrage nach qualitativ hochwertigen Dienstleistungen der reproduktiven Gesundheit in den Programmregionen zu erhöhen und damit die Gesundheit von Müttern und Neugeborenen in den Programmregionen zu verbessern.Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die guineische Bevölkerung in den Programmregionen mit Fokus auf Frauen im gebärfähigen Alter und Neugeborenen.Das Vorhaben wird in den Programmregionen Kindia und Boké umgesetzt. Es steht ein Finanzierungsvolumen von 15 Mio. EUR zur Verfügung. Der guineische Eigenbeitrag beträgt 450.000 EUR.
