\n\t\t\t\tIn West Africa, limited access to quality care puts women and newborns at high risk during pregnancy and the first months of life. Through the INSPiRE project – implemented with IntraHealth International and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – Global Communities is helping transform that reality.\nThe INSPiRE model integrates essential services for mothers, infants, and young children into a single visit, covering prenatal care, safe delivery, postpartum follow-up, immunizations, nutrition, and family planning. This streamlined approach reduces missed opportunities and makes care more accessible for women in remote areas.\nNow active in more than 14,000 health facilities across eight countries, INSPiRE has already led to dramatic gains in family planning and well-baby visits.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\tResources\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealthy Start Pregnancy & Postpartum Education Guide\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tToolkits & Manuals<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDigital health for mothers and newborns: Evaluating a mobile voice messaging awareness campaign in Mali, a descriptive observational study\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSenegal Country Brief\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This is a summary of our work in Senegal.\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAddressing Sanitation Market Challenges\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n Through the Enhancing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (En-WASH) program, USAID Ghana is helping to increase access to sustainable and affordable sanitation in six regions of…\n \t\tBriefs & Case Studies<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGlobal Communities Meets with LIXIL to Improve Sanitation in Rural Communities in Guatemala through SATO Products\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n Global Communities is the primary implementing partner of the Integrating Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (I-WASH) project funded by the United States Agency for International Development…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tProgram Stories<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUsing Behavioral Change Communications Intervention to Create Demand and Enhance PrEP Uptake in South Sudan\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by IntraHealth International – Global Communities’ subsidiary – presents the results of a behavioral…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTesting Outcomes of HIV-Exposed Infants (HEI) in Botswana\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by Global Communities, showcases the results of a study on early infant diagnosis in…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrom Policy to Practice: The HIV Care and Treatment Project’s Experiences in Transitioning to an Optimized Regimen in Honduras\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by IntraHealth International – Global Communities’ subsidiary – highlights the results of capacity strengthening…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExploring Health Provider Knowledge of the Undetectable Equals Untransmittable (U=U) Concept in Central America\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by IntraHealth International – Global Communities’ subsidiary – highlights the results of an exploratory…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tValidation of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (KAPREP) among Key Populations in Honduras: A New Tool\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by Global Communities, introduced a new tool for measuring perceptions, practices and attitudes regarding…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\tNews\t<\/h3>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t![\"11](\"https:\/\/globalcommunities.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/RS6944_20180515-tanzania-estey-5030.JPG-20180515-tanzania-estey-5030-1024x683-panorama-aadfe194d7a77295bff995ce8504a2be-.jpg\" "\\"RS6944_20180515-tanzania-estey")

This streamlined approach reduces missed opportunities and makes care more accessible for women in remote areas.\nNow active in more than 14,000 health facilities across eight countries, INSPiRE has already led to dramatic gains in family planning and well-baby visits.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\tResources\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealthy Start Pregnancy & Postpartum Education Guide\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tToolkits & Manuals<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDigital health for mothers and newborns: Evaluating a mobile voice messaging awareness campaign in Mali, a descriptive observational study\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSenegal Country Brief\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This is a summary of our work in Senegal.\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAddressing Sanitation Market Challenges\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n Through the Enhancing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (En-WASH) program, USAID Ghana is helping to increase access to sustainable and affordable sanitation in six regions of…\n \t\tBriefs & Case Studies<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGlobal Communities Meets with LIXIL to Improve Sanitation in Rural Communities in Guatemala through SATO Products\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n Global Communities is the primary implementing partner of the Integrating Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (I-WASH) project funded by the United States Agency for International Development…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tProgram Stories<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUsing Behavioral Change Communications Intervention to Create Demand and Enhance PrEP Uptake in South Sudan\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by IntraHealth International – Global Communities’ subsidiary – presents the results of a behavioral…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTesting Outcomes of HIV-Exposed Infants (HEI) in Botswana\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by Global Communities, showcases the results of a study on early infant diagnosis in…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrom Policy to Practice: The HIV Care and Treatment Project’s Experiences in Transitioning to an Optimized Regimen in Honduras\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by IntraHealth International – Global Communities’ subsidiary – highlights the results of capacity strengthening…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExploring Health Provider Knowledge of the Undetectable Equals Untransmittable (U=U) Concept in Central America\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by IntraHealth International – Global Communities’ subsidiary – highlights the results of an exploratory…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tValidation of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (KAPREP) among Key Populations in Honduras: A New Tool\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n This poster, presented in 2024 at the 25th International AIDS Conference by Global Communities, introduced a new tool for measuring perceptions, practices and attitudes regarding…\n \t\tGlobal Health<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \/ \n\t\t \t\tResearch & Publications<\/a>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\tNews\t<\/h3>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDigitizing Health Payments: A New Era for Community Health in Tanzania\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\tDecember 8, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\n Driving Community Health Systems Resilience Through Financial Inclusion and Smart Coordination In Tanzania, community health workers (CHWs) are often the first point of contact for care, particularly in underserved and hard-to-reach communities – monitoring child growth, preventing the spread of disease, delivering critical health education, and connecting people to lifesaving services.
