Call for EOIs: reach52 Community Growth Partners Programme in Cape Verde
Introduction: reach52 and its mission in Cape Verde
reach52 is an innovative social enterprise dedicated to improving access to healthcare for underprivileged communities around the world. In Cape Verde, reach52 is expanding its presence and is looking for strategic partners to boost its Community Growth Partners Programme. This programme aims to strengthen local communities by empowering them with tools and resources to improve their health and well-being.
What is the reach52 Community Growth Partners Programme?
The reach52 Community Growth Partners Programme is a comprehensive initiative that seeks to identify and support local organisations, social entrepreneurs and passionate individuals who share reach52's vision of a healthier future for all. The programme offers:
- Access to reach52's technology and digital platforms.
- Training and capacity building in areas such as health, entrepreneurship and project management.
- Financial and technical support to implement community health initiatives.
- Networking and collaboration opportunities with other reach52 partners.
Why Cape Verde? The Need for Local Partnerships
Cape Verde, despite its significant progress in the health sector, still faces challenges in accessing healthcare, especially in rural and remote areas. reach52 recognises the importance of local partnerships in overcoming these challenges. By working with organisations and individuals who understand the specific needs and contexts of Cape Verdean communities, reach52 can ensure that its solutions are relevant, effective and sustainable.
A recent study by the Cape Verde Ministry of Health revealed that:
- Only 60% of the rural population has regular access to primary health care.
- The infant mortality rate is significantly higher in rural areas than in urban areas.
- The lack of information and health education contributes to the prevalence of preventable diseases.
This data underlines the urgent need for innovative and collaborative interventions to improve access to healthcare in Cape Verde. The reach52 Community Growth Partners Programme is a response to this need.
Examples of Impact: reach52 Success Stories
In other countries where reach52 operates, the partnership programme has already shown remarkable results. For example:
- In India, reach52 collaborated with a local NGO to implement a diabetes screening programme in rural areas. The programme resulted in a 30% increase in the early detection of diabetes and a significant improvement in disease control.
- In the Philippines, reach52 supported a social entrepreneur to develop a digital platform to connect patients with doctors in remote areas. The platform has enabled thousands of people to access online medical consultations and essential medicines.
These examples demonstrate the potential of the reach52 Community Growth Partners Programme to generate a positive and lasting impact on the health of communities.
