Health Commission Support Project, South Sudan

This project needs $60,000 in 2012.
The Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS) wants to put in place a vibrant health system which complements that of the new government of South Sudan and particularly focuses on the needs of people in rural communities and remote areas.
Currently, only 13 of the 31 dioceses have active health programs so it is hoped this will offer consistency and structure to the healthcare system in South Sudan.
The main way that Anglicans in Australia can help in this process is by funding the salary of the Provincial Health Coordinator as he rolls out the church’s strategic plan for health.
This project will help fund the work of the Health Commission and ABM believes it will play a pivotal role in the development of a workable health program for the Church.
The Coordinator will organise training at the diocesan
level, will process applications for funds from the various dioceses and will liaise with the national government’s health officials to ensure ECS is in step with government policy and best able to take advantage of opportunities offered by the government.
Please support this critical position which will enable a stronger health system in this war-torn country.
