USAID’s Strengthening Systems for Better Health (SSBH) Activity was initiated in January 2018 and is implemented by Abt Associates (Abt) in partnership with Save the Children, the Karnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS), and Management Support Services (MASS). SSBH is designed to improve health outcomes, particularly for the most marginalized and disadvantaged groups, by improving access to and quality of maternal, child, and reproductive health services, with a specific focus on newborn care. This will be achieved through three outcomes, namely
(1) improved access to and utilization of equitable healthcare services;
(2) improved quality of health services at facility and community levels; and
(3) improved health system governance within the context of federalism.
In July 2020, USAID developed a Supplemental Program Description for SSBH focused on targeted support for the Government of Nepal’s (GoN) response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In collaboration with federal, provincial, and local-level health sector counterparts, the SSBH team has been working since then aiming at strengthening the health sector response to the pandemic, reducing transmission of the virus in Karnali and Lumbini Provinces, and mitigating the effects of the pandemic on delivery of essential maternal, newborn, and child health services. Geographic coverage includes all 79 municipalities of Karnali Province and 59 municipalities of Lumbini Province.
