Afin d'améliorer la couverture sanitaire, le gouvernement béninois a lancé un ensemble d'interventions sanitaires fondées sur des données factuelles, dénommé PIHI (paquet d'interventions à haut impact), en 2010. À compter de 2012, le projet Avancement des Partenariats et des Communautés (APC) financé par l'USAID a aidé trois organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) et le Ministère de la Santé à introduire cet ensemble de services dans dix zones sanitaires prioritaires de l'USAID par les relais communautaires (RC). Avec l'aide d'APC, les ONG ont formé des RC et ont fourni un soutien et une supervision permanents pour mettre en oeuvre le PIHI dans leurs communautés.

Strengthening Community Health Systems in Benin
April 2019 | Infographic To improve health, the Government of Benin launched a package of evidence-based health interventions, known as PIHI (paquet d’interventions à haut impact), in 2010. Beginning in 2012, the USAID-funded Advancing Partners & Communities (APC) project helped three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) introduce this package of services in ten USAID-priority health zones through community health workers (CHWs). With APC assistance, the NGOs trained CHWs and provided ongoing support and supervision to deliver the PIHI in their communities.
