HI enables people with disabilities, especially women and girls, living in the DRC’s capital, Kinshasa, and Kananga, the provincial capital of Kassaï Occidental Province, to attain and maintain maximum independence to fully participate in all aspects of life. The program will contribute to both the quality and quantity of devices and rehabilitation services now available to persons with disabilities living in Kinshasa and Kananga.

Country Profile

This country profile is the outcome of a landscape assessment conducted by APC staff and colleagues. The landscape assessment includes specific attention to family planning with the purpose of collecting the most up to date information available on the community health system, community health workers, and community health services in country. These country profiles are part of APC's Community Health Systems Catalog, a resource intended for ministries of health, program managers, researchers, and donors. The catalog covers USAID priority countries for population and reproductive health and countries with a demonstrated interest in community-based family planning.
