Project Completion Report

BHW received a four-year-long project funded by SIDA.  The project titled  'Making Bangladesh’s Healthcare Systems More Responsive and Participatory (2019-23)' had few goals and objectives. These are-

a) Empower civil society platforms and individual voices to hold the government and other stakeholders accountable for major health sector commitments.
b) Conduct evidence-based advocacy to improve the quality of care, transparency, and equity, especially in hard-to-reach, poor areas, with a particular emphasis on women and young girls.
c) Improve the understanding of duty bearers regarding issues related to the quality of care, accountability, and equity. This objective aimed to ensure that those responsible for upholding and enforcing health sector commitments were well-informed and equipped to address these critical issues effectively.
