PROJECT TITLE
PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Maternal and child health (MCH) care is the health service provided to mothers
(women in their child bearing age) and children. The targets for MCH are all
women in their reproductive age groups, 15 - 49 years of age, children, school age
population and adolescents. Throughout the world, especially in the developing
countries, there is an increasing concern and interest in maternal and child health
care. This commitment towards MCH care gains further strength after the World
Summit for Children, 1991, which gave serious consideration and outlined major
areas to be addressed in the provision of Maternal and Child Health Care service
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
All children, including those with developmental delays and disabilities, have the
right to live healthy lives, where they feel safe and secure. Statistic shows that in
2019, 6.1 million children under the age of 15 died, including 5.2 million children
under the age of 5. An estimate of 810 women dies every day from causes related
to pregnancy or childbirth. However, to reach their full potential, children and
mothers need high-quality health care and services especially in life’s early
moments but millions do not receive them. The absent of these services lead to
children’s disabilities and developmental delays like pneumonia, malnutrition,
cerebral palsy and genetic disorders. The introduction of Child friendly village
committee (CFVC) will bring health systems (Maternal and Health Care Centers)
fully equipped to support routine health interactions among children, families and
caregivers in north and south west region.
PROJECT GOAL
The main aim of this project is to provide Maternal and Health Care service in
order to decrease maternal, childhood morbidity and mortality by bringing health
care and services closer to children and mothers with developmental delays and
disabilities in urban and rural areas of the North and south west Region of
Cameroon. In order to achieve the main aim of this project, the following specific
objectives are stated.
There are 4 major activities involved in the construction of boreholes with their
sequence as stated below:
1. Sensitization of the population.
3. Immunization program
4. Home Gardening

A child-friendly city will keep a constant check on the state of its children.
Systematically collecting a range of statistics and information on children is
fundamental to developing child-centered policies. Disaggregating the data is
necessary to highlight discrimination, for example against girls or boys, minority
ethnic groups, disabled children and other groups.
EVALUATION PLAN
Post Project Evaluation: This is evaluation done after creating the Child Friendly
Village that is it reviews whether the various communities have embraced the
project; identify where there is need for adjustment.
SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The exercise of collecting data, monitoring progress and reporting not only looks at
available information but also clearly identifies gaps in knowledge which inhibit
evidence-based policy-making. To get an accurate assessment, this process will
include children and youth. An independent assessment of the process of building a
child-friendly village and results will be conducted in the spirit of good
governance. Reporting will be made public and be published in a format that is
accessible to not only key policymakers and community leaders but also to the
general public and children.
CONCLUSION
Every child and young person have the right to grow up in an environment where
they feel safe and secure, have access to basic services and clean air, water, can
play, learn, grow and voices is heard and matters
