Pathfinder International is dedicated to creating access to and improving the quality of family planning, reproductive health, abortion, and community- and facility-based HIV and AIDS care and services. In partnership with host country governments and nongovernmental organizations, we train facility-based health care providers to improve both the quality and range of their technical and counseling skills. Facility-based services are further improved through provision of equipment and facility renovations. We mobilize communities to advocate for quality services and improve access through trained community-based volunteers.
Pathfinder improves youth’s access to health care by creating youth-friendly services and training peer educators to promote them. In each project, Pathfinder works with our partners to improve both their management and program implementation capacity. Through all that we do, Pathfinder strives to empower women, men, adolescents, and communities to make choices and create environments conducive to healthy reproductive behaviors.
This project will increase the demand for and utilization of family planning (FP) methods in the provinces of Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane and Cabo Delgado through integration of FP into HIV services, increased availability of youth-friendly services (YFS), peer education and faculty and staff training in pre-service institutions, community mobilization, and increased capacity of community health agents. To ensure synergies and reduce duplications of effort, the project will link with other partners and programs working in FP and HIV including, ICAP, EGPAF, SCIP, and the Geração Biz Program (PGB).
