Wiwanana Foundation (WWF)

Projet terminé

This phase seeks to transform Wiwanana Foundation into an organization with economic and institutional sustainability. In turn, enabling the organization to deliver quality services and play a key role in the advocacy of health matters in the Province.  The Phase is in line with Wiwanana’s Strategic Plan (2016-2020) with one of its two focuses being the institutional capacity building, alongside health governance. The phase is also embedded in the SDC Mozambique civil society concept note.

Contexte

Wiwanana started as a community mobilization project in 1999 implemented by Solidarmed in Cabo Delgado. By mid-2013 Wiwanana became an independent organization, therefore institutional development also became a priority. Despite the progress in both areas, the period of implementation was not yet enough to ensure that it was established as a robust local organization. Fortunately, the start of the current phase coincides with implementation of the Strategic Plan and the emergence of two additional funding partners (UNFPA and CUAMM), with Solidarmed committed to continuing its support to the organization. The new project with UNFPA, will allow Wiwanana to expand its intervention from 2 Districts (Chiure, Ancuabe), to 4 (also Namuno and Balama).

Principaux résultats antérieurs:  

  • Demand for usage of the formal health systems has increased in Chiúre and Ancuabe Districts. Last year, there was a peak of people accessing Volunteer Counselling and Testing and treatment of Sexually Transmitted Infections. And care and support (ante and post-natal care) for expectant mothers in communities have improved, leading to growing proportions of institutional deliveries.
  • There are reported changes in attitudes and practices detrimental to health. Communities have shifted from the unsanitary open defecation practice and started constructing and using latrines. Sanitation has improved, with 4 communities being certified as ODF (open defecation free) in Chiúre and Ancuabe in 2015.
  • Wiwanana has formally been recognized as an autonomous local organization, has established its pillars and has demonstrated its capacity to work independently and for being accountable (internally and externally).
