SECTOR: Health

DEMOGRAPHIC: The main demographic of people benefitted by this solution will be children and pregnant and lactating women, who are mainly from IDP communities living a nomadic life in Somalia. World Vision aims to target 100.000 individuals directly through this solution.

HUMANITARIAN NEED:

  • Reducing child and maternal mortality among the nomadic IDP groups.

  • Provide health service and monitor provided services to the mothers and infants.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

World Vision (WV) is seeking innovation to solve the Antenatal care uptake, skilled birth attendance at health facilities and having children below 1 year get fully immunized. Due to protracted conflict, insecurity and nomadic lifestyle in Somalia, most households are on the move and thus mothers don't complete 4 ANC visits, most don't deliver at Health Facilities and children don't receive all recommended immunizations. WV Somalia seeks a solution to track them and reach them with the health services or link them and thus reduce both child and maternal mortality.
