CHALLENGES

Solthis operates via an office based in Niamey with the possibility of extension to the regions according to the development plan for the coming years.
Despite historic progress made over several years, Niger is one of the most fragile countries in the world in terms of socio-health indicators in reproductive health : 70% of the population is under 25 years old. The HIV prevalence rate in 2020 is 0.9%, or around 110,000 PLHIV, access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for women, and particularly adolescent girls and young girls, remains limited due to multiple barriers: gender inequalities, low socioeconomic status, value conflicts experienced by certain caregivers, low quality of services.
In this context, strengthening health systems (RSS) and the power of communities to act appears essential to promote the resilience of populations and equitable access to quality care, and thus contribute to sustainably improving the health of individuals. .
The project which is the subject of this publication aims to strengthen public and community health services and systems in Niger to increase its resilience. In particular, by emphasizing the provision of better quality health services, more user-centered and accountable (quality score and user-centered care score), thanks to the implementation establishment of continuing training and coaching/tutoring systems for health personnel in matters of sexual reproductive health (SRH) and HIV.
