Integrated Learning Network Technical Support Committees: A structure for leveraging local resources in favor of health services, particularly family planning
Establishing a structure to mobilize local funding is a fundamental aspect of the development programs’ sustainability. Working through USAID’s AmplifyPF project, Pathfinder International facilitated the creation of “Integrated Learning Network (ILN) technical support committees” by stakeholders in 19 health districts in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger, and Togo to engage local companies in supporting health services and family planning services in particular. Over a 36-month period, these committees mobilized approximately USD $895,233 to finance micro-projects aimed at removing obstacles to access and quality of family planning services in the four countries.
