Living in the city: Building collaborations to strengthen health systems to respond to the needs of newly urbanised populations in Africa and Asia Many developing countries are experiencing rapid and unplanned urbanisation as people move from rural to urban areas. This can create a variety of new health risks, from non-communicable diseases (as a result of lifestyle changes) and communicable diseases (since rural-urban migrants often suffer from sub-standard housing and inadequate water and sanitation facilities). At the same time, newly- urbanised people can find it more difficult than they did in their rural lives to access health services - partly because those services are over-stretched, but also because they lack the knowledge to navigate vastly more complex urban health systems, with their plurality of public and private service providers.

Through this award, we will develop the research design, methods and partnerships for a large comparative project examining these issues in four countries across South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The larger follow-on project will use a participatory approach to better understand lived experiences of the health costs/benefits of urbanisation and to identify mechanisms to enhance the accountability and responsiveness of urban health systems to the needs of the newly-urbanised.

A pilot study in two rapidly-growing urban areas of Nepal will trial a series of participatory research methods (Participatory Video, Participatory Photo and Participatory Mapping) to capture the experiences and perceptions of both newly-urbanised people and providers of health services, focussing on:

1. How do newly urbanised people view the health risks/benefits of moving to the city?
2. How do newly urbanised people navigate pluralist urban health systems to fulfil their health needs? What health needs (if any) are they failing to fulfil?
3. What do service providers see as the particular needs and challenges facing the newly-urbanised?

Through workshops with health system stakeholders and policymakers, the results of these participatory approaches will be shared and analysed, allowing us to answer:

4. How can these insights inform local, city and national health system policy and planning?

Alongside the pilot study, we will undertake preparatory work for the follow-on project in Bangladesh, Ghana and Vietnam. This will involve: providing relevant training; systematically reviewing the existing literature; identifying potential research sites; building links with municipal authorities and other stakeholders and identifying their priorities; and learning lessons from the Nepal pilot that can feed into the research design of the follow-on study.

The development award will lead to significant individual and institutional capacity building, through career development, the hiring of RAs, the provision of training to members of the research team, and skills and knowledge development of the participants (urban residents, health providers and decision- makers) in the pilot study.
Expanding and Implementing the Stop TB Strategy in Papua New Guinea TB is a serious health and development problem in Papua New Guinea. TB case detection rates are low and treatment success rates are not good. The program supported by this grant aims to reduce illness and death due to TB by expanding DOTS services for diagnosis and treatment, addressing TB/HIV co-infection, assessing levels of multidrug-resistant TB and strengthening health systems. The program will set up a strong supervisory and coordination system, and involve community and church leaders in building community-based networks of volunteer DOTS providers and patient support groups. Grant funding will strengthen or establish at least 80 microscopy centers and train new and existing laboratory and health care staff.

Scaling up HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment through an intensified multi-sectorial community based programme in Papua New Guinea HIV was first reported in Papua New Guinea in 1987. By the mid-1990s, cases had been reported in nearly every province. Papua New Guinea now has a serious and rapidly growing generalized epidemic, where concentrated epidemics among higher risk populations have spread to the general population, largely through sexual transmission.  The program supported by this grant is developing and coordinating active networks of national and international nongovernmental organizations, faith- and community-based organizations and the private sector working to fight HIV and AIDS. Areas include community education and behavior change, management of sexually transmitted infections, reduction of discrimination and violence against people living with HIV, mobilization and education of youth in and out of schools, and support for the implementation of an HIV and AIDS code of practice in the workplace. The country aims to build broad capacity to address HIV in all sectors and communities and to create a supportive environment in which to tackle HIV. In addition, the grant is supporting the scale-up of voluntary counseling and testing, treatment and care for people living with HIV and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in rural and urban areas.
To maintain essential prevention, care and treatment services and expand and scale-up in priority provinces, with a particular focus on Preventiono of Parent to Child Transmission (PPTCT) as an entry point In Papua New Guinea (PNG), the estimated HIV prevalence among adults aged 15 to 49 is 0.5% (0.4% to 0.7%), according to 2012 UNAIDS estimates. There are 22,000 adults (15+) estimated to be living with HIV in 2012, of which 12,000 are women, and 3,100 are children. The goals of this Program are to reduce the transmission of HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections, minimize the impact of HIV on families and communities, as well as improving the capacity of district level health service delivery.  More broadly this entails reducing the risks of HIV transmission, addressing factors that contribute to HIV vulnerability, scaling-up counseling and testing, and expanding treatment, care and support services. It will also focus on strengthening organizational and human capacity for coordinating and implementing the National HIV and AIDS Strategy. On the Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) side, managerial/technical skills and capacities of 89 district health managers will be strengthened and medical supply storage conditions will be improved. Particular emphasis is given to the general population in nine high-priority provinces for the HIV component, and the general national population for the HSS part of the grant. This Round 10 grant is complementary to the efforts of the Government of PNG, its development partners and the private sector entities actively engaged in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Implementing Partners to Provide Essential Health Care Services in South Sudan (HPF) This is for the third year of the Health Pool Fund in South Sudan. 

HPF encourages (but not required) partnership with local NGOs, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations, in order to build local capacity and ensure long term sustainability. Whilst the contract may be awarded to a consortium of organizations, there must be one designated lead agency accountable to the MOH and the HPF and only one contract will be awarded per lot. The IRC is purely assessed on its technical application in the first round. The program design must aim to improve health and nutrition status for the population that saves lives and reduces morbidity (including maternal, infant and under-5 mortality). There are 4 key outputs of focus requested by the bid: (1) enhanced delivery of integrated health services  through a network of health facilities; (2) expanded Community health services  for the prevention and treatment of common conditions based upon the Boma Health Initiative Guidelines; (3) strengthened management of the Supply Chain for essential drugs and commodities; (4) stable health systems that are responsive and accountable to the needs of communities and individuals accessing health services. Additionally, there is also emphasis on cross-cutting aspects (gender and social inclusion/Conflict sensitive approaches/Continuous quality improvements), drug management.
