3. Proposed Approaches
3.1. Please describe the proposed approach for Prioritized townships
[Category A]

MHAA approach will focus upon the four pillars; demand creation, scaling up of health
services toward migrant and vulnerable population, and health system strengthening and
cross cutting themes to contribute National TB program ;

1. Demand Creation will enhance effective community utilization of health services. There
will be;
- Community-based work aimed to increase demand and access through trained community
health volunteers (CHV) and self-help group (SHG). The volunteer system will be gender
sensitive with development of women volunteers and women and girls friendly services.
- Use of data and evidence to track and monitor results for target populations;

2. Scaling up of health services toward hard to reach and vulnerable population

- Innovative approaches (namely community base approach reaching the vulnerable groups,
gender sensitive approach reaching to the vulnerable women and girls, community capacity
development/integrated community volunteers for their participation and sustainability, etc.)
to reach (and provide services to) remote and vulnerable people;
-Active Case Finding service to reach the vulnerable community through mobile team
- Geographical targeting toward most vulnerable population, migrant and hard to reach
population and so on;

3. Health system strengthening

- Provide HR for National TB Program for accessing health care service to vulnerable
populations by mobile team;
- Promote coordination between MoHS and IPs;
- Support to implement TB/MDR-TB crisis plan;

4. 4. Cross Cutting Themes

-Taking accountable by community feedback mechanism
-Emergency Response and preparedness plan
-PSEA to program staff and volunteers
-Gender Main steaming

4.1. Please describe the proposed approach for Category B townships

MHAA approach will focus upon the three pillars; demand creation, scaling up of health
services toward migrant and vulnerable population, and health system strengthening and
cross cutting themes to contribute National TB program ;

2 Innovative approaches to reach the targeted populations in the conflict-affected areas should be
proposed. The proposed approach should explain how the majority of the investment will go to the most
relevant stakeholder(s) who is able to reach to the vulnerable population and in full coordination with the
township health department.
