Center for Family Health The ESHE project, funded by USAID, aims to increase the survival rates of young children in Ethiopia through improved vaccination and nutritional supplementation. In addition to increasing the number of fully vaccinated children, the program provides training in the essential nutrition actions. The team will design and implement, in close collaboration with the government and local partners, an integrated and coordinated program of child survival and health sector reform interventions that contribute to strengthened health policies at the federal level and improved health services in the three focus regions. The ESHE project will support Health Extension Workers and Community Health Promoters to reach an estimated 6.5 million direct beneficiaries.
