OUR PARTNERS
Serving 9.7 million in five provinces of CongoASSP is implemented by a consortium of organizations that work together at all levels of the health system to implement nutrition, obstetric and neonatal care, family planning, immunization as well as water, hygiene and sanitation interventions.
Through this consortium, IMA and its partners also focus on the empowerment, accountability and capacity-building of local faith-based and non-government organizations and DRC’s Ministry of Health representatives to ensure sustainability and local investment.
Lead Agency
IMA World Health is a faith-based technical public health organization whose mission is to build healthier communities by collaborating with key partners to serve vulnerable people.

implementing partner
SANRU is our implementing partner in Kasaï and Kasaï Central provinces. SANRU uses an integrated development approach to strengthen the capacity of sixty NGO-managed health zones for priority primary health care (PHC) interventions to a population of almost 10,000,000.
Priority PHC interventions include the Ministry of Health’s basic package of services (vaccinations, growth monitoring, and pre-natal care); malaria, HIV/AIDS, nutrition/Vit. A, water/sanitation, and endemic diseases such as TB and Onchocerciasis.
SANRU also strengthens health zone support systems for planning, management, training, supervision, information, supply lines, cost recovery, and behavior change communications.
