PRESYS

Strengthening the Resilience of the Health System of Fragile Zones in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Chad 

PRESYS represents an ambitious vision: creating health systems capable of withstanding shocks and adapting to crises in the most vulnerable regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Chad.

At the core of the project lies the strategic combination of Santé Monde’s expertise in health system resilience and Oxfam-Quebec‘s approach to social transformation.

With the support of recognized local organizations, the PRESYS project aims to enhance access to health services, particularly sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services, in areas affected by conflicts, epidemics, and natural disasters.

The PRESYS project is being implemented in the provinces of Kinshasa and Équateur in the DRC, as well as in the Lake Chad and Bar El Ghazal provinces in Chad. It mobilizes healthcare facilities, grassroot organizations, and local leaders, while focusing on empowering women, adolescent girls, as well as vulnerable and marginalized populations to address the root causes of health inequalities.

Funded by Global Affairs Canada, this project aims to pave the way for more equitable and sustainable health systems in fragile areas of Central Africa.
