Integrating community health services with local marine management efforts

This solution integrates community health services with local marine management and coastal livelihood initiatives.

 

This holistic health-environment model enables previously under-served communities to access family planning services so that they can choose freely the number and timing of their births. It improves their health while equipping them with the skills and opportunities they need to manage their natural resources sustainably. 

 

It’s being implemented through cross-sector partnerships between health and environmental organisations in a variety of contexts. Programmes are designed to respond to priority community unmet needs and remove barriers to participation in local marine management.
