During June 2025, PSU organised a series of capacity-building workshops covering community health assessment, local health planning, food and waste management, mental health, road safety, emerging diseases, and the use of digital health-fund platforms. Participants included personnel and partners involved in local health-fund management and community health initiatives.
The programme also strengthened local mentors through practical training in community data collection and analysis, project development and district-level planning, enabling local organisations to better identify community needs and design appropriate health interventions.
By strengthening the skills of local health organisations, fund managers and community partners, PSU helps improve the planning, coordination and delivery of accessible basic health services.
