Major Projects

EngenderHealth is the managing partner of several major projects—consortiums of organizations working in partnership to achieve the maximum impact on public health. These projects are country-specific, regional, or global in scope, and capitalize on the complementary capabilities of each collaborating agency. As the lead organization, EngenderHealth oversees the projects' finances, strategies, and operations while managing the partnerships. In addition, EngenderHealth contributes its specialized technical expertise to each project.

• The APHIA-Nyanza Project works to improve the reproductive health of the people in Nyanza, a province in western Kenya, and focuses on HIV and AIDS, family planning, and many other areas. 
   
• The CHAMPION Project increases men’s involvement in preventing the spread of HIV in Tanzania, by taking a holistic approach to HIV prevention and addressing the underlying gender issues that drive HIV transmission.
   
  
• Fistula Care is the largest global project ever to focus on treatment and prevention of obstetric fistula.
   
• Quality Health Partners (QHP) works to ensure high-quality reproductive and child health services in Ghana.
   
  
• The Maternal Health Task Force Project brings together existing maternal health networks and engages new organizations to facilitate global coordination of maternal health programs.
   
• The Male Circumcision Consortium improves and expands access to voluntary medical circumcision services in Kenya as part of an overall strategy to reduce HIV infections in men.
   
  
• The R3M Project (Reducing Maternal Mortality and Morbidity) supports family planning and long-term and permanent contraceptives in Ghana.
   
  
• The RESPOND Project aims to increase access to a range of contraceptives, with particular focus on long-acting and permanent methods. These effective methods (implants, IUDs, and male and female sterilization) remain underutilized in many developing countries, even though they are safe, convenient, and cost-effective.
