Context :

PANEPAT is a grouping of civil society organizations (CSOs)/associations whose goal is to promote access to health care for the population while respecting a global vision of health in Chad. PANEPAT’s mandate concerns the fight against pandemics such as HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and COVID19 as well as the promotion of the right to health, human rights and gender equality including the fight against gender-based violence (GBV). PANEPAT is developing a local response approach to community interventions by strengthening and supporting local actors (CSOs/CBOs/CSAs) in order to promote community ownership of health programs and projects. Thus, its local response approach is based on a logic of networks of community actors and institutional entities (public health system) on health problems at the local level (provinces, departments, communes, villages, etc.). In 2022, the Initiative has already selected Solthis for a TA mission to strengthen PANEPAT by working on their procedures manual and for the development of their strategic plan. This second Solthis TA mission is intended to be a continuation of the previous one, in order to strengthen PANEPAT’s organization in order to meet the platform’s strategic ambitions.
