Action for Child Health and Community Improvement Project II

Duration: May1, 2010 – July 31, 2011

Donor: Danish International Development Agency

The goal of this 15 month project is to strengthen the existing civil society structures developed in Pwint Bhyu townships in Magway Division of the Dry Zone during the Phase I ACHCI program through continued engagement with communities in the areas of health, education and women’s empowerment through livelihoods development. Through the growth and success of community managed health, education and development funds from Phase I of the Action for Child Health and Community Development Project (ACHCI), Pact has heard the demand from communities for greater access to income generation funds to increase household incomes, further involve women in the community development process and encourage even greater community involvement in village generated action plans for change. For this reason, Pact has decided to adapt WORTH, an award-winning women’s empowerment program and savings-led micro-finance initiative that Pact has successfully implemented in eight countries throughout Asia and Africa.
