Background
Since 2008, The MENTOR Initiative (MENTOR) has collaborated closely with the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Central African Republic (CAR) to develop and implement programmes aimed at enhancing community and public health services in Sanitary Regions 1, 2, 3, and 6. These services include training and supervising Community Health Workers (CHWs) and health workers, providing supplies and equipment to community sites and health facilities, and managing data and information systems. In line with national regulations, MENTOR supports the provision of quality, free healthcare to children under five and pregnant women. Additionally, MENTOR conducts nutrition activities such as screening for malnutrition in target age groups and treating and referring moderate and severe malnutrition cases.
MENTOR has also partnered with the Neglected Tropical Diseases department of the MoH, participating in Mass Drug Administrations and specific disease programmes such as Human African Trypanosomiasis. Since 2024, MENTOR has been directly involved in providing care to Malaria, Tuberculosis, and HIV patients through a dedicated grant, which currently constitutes the largest portion of their work at the country level.
MENTOR’s activities include rehabilitating Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, promoting community-led total sanitation, and responding to emergency WASH needs. MENTOR’s overall programme strategy is based on a multisectoral approach, with health, nutrition, and WASH activities mutually reinforcing each other to ultimately improve resilience, social cohesion, and gender equality.
