The Resilient and Responsive Health Systems Initiative supports the strengthening of the primary health care system in Sierra Leone through the provision of health worker trainings in HIV prevention, HIV care and treatment, and maternal and child health. The initiative is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

ICAP has launched a multi-country emergency response training initiative to prepare health care workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 response, funded by Resolve to Save Lives, an initiative of Vital Strategies.

The trainings will build the competence and confidence of frontline HCW to safely identify, report and support people with COVID-19, implement effective infection prevention and control (IPC) activities, and serve as a trusted source of reliable information for communities impacted by the pandemic.

In collaboration with the National Infection Prevention and Control Unit at the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, ICAP is preparing 380 health care workers to respond to COVID-19 through trainings in infection prevention and control. The training, which uses the national IPC curriculum, will enable health workers to recognize and report cases, prevent infections of healthcare workers and patients, triage care and refer patients, and serve as a trusted community resource. The trainings are conducted by master trainers who previously completed ICAP’s Advanced IPC program.

ICAP provided technical support to the Ministry of Health and Sanitation’s Expanded Program Immunization Directorate to strengthen the implementation of high-impact interventions to improve immunization coverage across Sierra Leone. ICAP provided technical assistance to the national epidemiology program, with a focus on measles vaccine (MCV #2) dropout rates, and supported a formative needs assessment of barriers to immunization follow-up in urban settings.
This project was funded by the CDC’s Global Immunization Division.
Under this award, ICAP additionally supported the implementation of the national Intermittent Preventive Treatment of Malaria in Infants (IPTi) program.

The CHAMPS Network uses innovative approaches to generate and share knowledge that improves understanding and prevention of child mortality.

ICAP joined CHAMPS Sierra Leone in 2018 and provides support for its laboratory and diagnostic component as well as informatics and data systems. The CHAMPS project in Sierra Leone is funded by the Gates Foundation through Crown Agents.

ICAP’s laboratory and diagnostic support includes strengthening laboratory and pathology capacity for postmortem specimen collection and testing as well as Determination of Cause of Death (DeCoDe) panel activities. ICAP’s informatics support includes technical assistance for database development, hosting, maintenance, and troubleshooting, as well as data collection and management.

ICAP conducted a rapid assessment of 11 community care centers across six districts to assess the safety, effectiveness, acceptability, and operational feasibility of the centers, where patients with symptoms suggestive of Ebola received care and support as they awaited diagnosis and transfer to Ebola treatment units or referral for other medical services.

The project was funded by the UK Department for International Development.

ICAP has launched a multi-country emergency response training initiative to prepare health care workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 response, funded by Resolve to Save Lives, an initiative of Vital Strategies.

The trainings will build the competence and confidence of frontline HCW to safely identify, report and support people with COVID-19, implement effective infection prevention and control (IPC) activities, and serve as a trusted source of reliable information for communities impacted by the pandemic.

In collaboration with the National Infection Prevention and Control Unit at the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, ICAP is preparing 380 health care workers to respond to COVID-19 through trainings in infection prevention and control. The training, which uses the national IPC curriculum, will enable health workers to recognize and report cases, prevent infections of healthcare workers and patients, triage care and refer patients, and serve as a trusted community resource. The trainings are conducted by master trainers who previously completed ICAP’s Advanced IPC program.

The CHAMPS Network uses innovative approaches to generate and share knowledge that improves understanding and prevention of child mortality.

ICAP joined CHAMPS Sierra Leone in 2018 and provides support for its laboratory and diagnostic component as well as informatics and data systems. The CHAMPS project in Sierra Leone is funded by the Gates Foundation through Crown Agents.

ICAP’s laboratory and diagnostic support includes strengthening laboratory and pathology capacity for postmortem specimen collection and testing as well as Determination of Cause of Death (DeCoDe) panel activities. ICAP’s informatics support includes technical assistance for database development, hosting, maintenance, and troubleshooting, as well as data collection and management.

ICAP conducted a rapid assessment of 11 community care centers across six districts to assess the safety, effectiveness, acceptability, and operational feasibility of the centers, where patients with symptoms suggestive of Ebola received care and support as they awaited diagnosis and transfer to Ebola treatment units or referral for other medical services.

The project was funded by the UK Department for International Development.

The results of the project were published in The Lancet Global Health.

ICAP provided technical support to the Ministry of Health and Sanitation’s Expanded Program Immunization Directorate to strengthen the implementation of high-impact interventions to improve immunization coverage across Sierra Leone. ICAP provided technical assistance to the national epidemiology program, with a focus on measles vaccine (MCV #2) dropout rates, and supported a formative needs assessment of barriers to immunization follow-up in urban settings.
This project was funded by the CDC’s Global Immunization Division.
Under this award, ICAP additionally supported the implementation of the national Intermittent Preventive Treatment of Malaria in Infants (IPTi) program.
