HEALTHPARTNERS Girl’s Center PROJECT
Girl’s Center is a sustainable cooperative business solution owned and managed by the stakeholders who invest in order to benefit. Local health cooperatives and pre-co-ops will receive support to open co-op centers co-located with or near their health facilities in Kampala, Mbarara, Gulu and Mbale. Each co-op Center will leverage cash and in-kind contributions investing in girls and young women age 10-19 with a focus on creating mentors, coordinating efforts and developing skills in reproductive health, income generation and savings, nutrition and gardening, leadership, accountability, governance and financial management. Co-op Girl’s Center activities include male engagement, health cooperative governance and new provider training. Centers will offer internet, research and resource libraries and simulation opportunities where stakeholders will be able to apply skills, learn from each other and pilot innovative technology solutions like Quick Response Codes for unique and cost effective member identification. The policy and systems development component, also led by national stakeholders, will enable the National Health Insurance Scheme to reach the informal sector sooner and more effectively by operationalizing governance, accountability, checks and balances, accreditation, data management, communication, regional training and collaboration, learning and adapting.
