About AIM Health Plus Project:
The AIM Health Plus Programme is a 5-year infant and maternal health
programme, funded by Irish Aid. It is being implemented in 8 World Vision areas
of operation in Uganda, Tanzania, Mauritania and Sierra Leone from January 2017
– December 2021. The overall goal of the programme is to reduce neonatal and
infant mortality rates by 20% and maternal mortality ratios by 15% in each
programme area. This will be achieved through the promotion of illness
prevention, health promotion and health care seeking behaviour at household and
community levels, while also supporting Ministry of Health and local civil
society to identify and address gaps in maternal and child health service
provision. Digital health technology will also be embedded in this programme, in
line with Ministry of Health policy, to accelerate and amplify maternal and
child health outcomes.
