Current Projects
INSPiRE Women’s & Newborn Health in West Africa
With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, IntraHealth developed a cost-effective model for integrating essential services for mothers, infants, and young children that is being implemented in 14,500+ health facilities in Francophone West Africa, with $30 million mobilized by countries from government and partner contributions to support scale-up. The integration model gives women access to a comprehensive package of services during a single visit to the health facility, whether their entry point is for antenatal care during pregnancy, delivery services, postpartum care after delivery, or a return visit with a child. The services include essential maternal and infant care, nutrition, immunizations, and postpartum family planning for women who want to avoid an unintended pregnancy or one that is too closely spaced. Providing all of these services in one visit avoids missed opportunities, especially for women who live in rural and remote areas and must travel long distances to reach a health facility.

The Challenge Initiative (TCI)
Since 2016, the global TCI program has been implemented in Francophone West Africa by IntraHealth, which serves as the regional hub. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Bayer AG, TCI is expanding access to high-quality family planning services in low-income urban areas across the region. The hub partners with local governments in 29 cities to rapidly expand a core package of proven, high-impact interventions to achieve healthier cities while also working to strengthen political and technical leadership and the management and coordination of local health systems. Cities self-select into the program through a competitive process and contribute their own resources to implement activities. Through this approach, the number of additional contraceptive users rose from 66,225 in the first phase (2016–2020) to 326,814 during the NextGen phase (as of July 2025). Over the same period, the project mobilized $1.2 million from municipalities to sustain and scale-up activities.

Classroom to Care (C2C)
The C2C project's investments lay the foundation for a more resilient health workforce, ready to meet maternal and newborn health challenges in underserved communities across Mali, Niger, and Senegal. With funding from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, C2C supports 12 private health training institutions in the three countries to implement a competency-based approach that considers population and student needs and to establish effective partnerships with the public sector. The project is also helping the schools establish up-to-date skills labs and clinical practicum sites and develop eLearning platforms for access to educational resources and self-training. At the end of the project’s third year, 7,046 nursing and midwifery students—74% of whom are women—are benefitting from updated curricula adapted to local clinical practice.
Care4CVD
Through Care4CVD, funded by Sanofi, IntraHealth is improving access to quality prevention, care, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in Togo, focusing on the cities of Lomé and Sokodé. Recognizing the significant burden of hypertension (30%) and diabetes (5%) in Togo (World Health Organization STEPS survey, 2021), the project is working to:
- Strengthen health workforce capacity by training 500+ doctors and nurses on management of hypertension and diabetes and equipping them with data-driven decision-making skills
- Empower community health workers by building their capacity to identify and manage cardiovascular risk factors
- Expand early detection and diagnosis by reaching community members with prevention messages, decentralizing screening, and facilitating timely referrals to health facilities.

Advancing HIV & AIDS Epidemic Control (AHEC)
AHEC provides life-saving HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services in 16 health facilities in South Sudan through funding from the US Department of State in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and other stakeholders. Activities focus on HIV case identification, linkage to care, adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) to achieve viral suppression, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Over the past five years, over 520,000 South Sudanese have been tested for HIV through AHEC and received their results. The program supports more than 17,600 people living with HIV to receive ART, with 88% maintaining viral suppression. Over 140,000 pregnant women have learned their HIV status during- antenatal care. To sustain these gains, AHEC also works with partners to strengthen the supply chain for HIV-related commodities and improve data management.

Digitalizing Community Health Worker (CHW) Payments Program
With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, IntraHealth and the Government of Tanzania collaborated to design, test, and roll out a scalable, user-centered, unified digital payment system for government contract workers, starting with CHWs. This initiative builds on existing digital public infrastructure and supports the Tanzania Ministry of Health’s Integrated and Coordinated Community Health Worker program, which intends to recruit, train, and deploy over 137,000 health workers across the country by 2028. IntraHealth is working closely with the government to support CHW registration, tracking, and digital payments in 12 regions, including monitoring CHWs’ onboarding to mobile money platforms or formal banking systems to receive their monthly stipends and other inclusive financial services. By enabling reliable and timely payments for CHWs, the program aims to improve retention and incentivize high-quality care.

Special Initiatives
iHRIS
IntraHealth's free, open source software helps countries around the world track and manage their health workforce data to improve access to services. Countries use iHRIS to capture and maintain high-quality information for health workforce planning, management, regulation, and training. iHRIS is built on a flexible framework that allows ministries of health, professional councils, and health service delivery organizations to adapt applications for a wide variety of uses. Developed in collaboration with national stakeholders beginning in 2005, with support from the US Agency for International Development (USAID), iHRIS was being used in 28 countries as of 2023. The iHRIS website offers resources for those exploring or using the software, including a demo application and an implementation toolkit.
