Project Fenot

We're on a mission to

Transform Health Systems.

The Fenot Project, funded by the Gates Foundation and implemented in collaboration with ABH Partners, is contributing to the development of Ethiopia's primary health care system.
Fenot builds on the achievements of previous projects implemented from 2012 to 2017: HEPCAPS 1 and 2, and Resource Tracking & Management.

Fenot focuses on strategic areas that are aligned with the direction of our counterparts at the national level Ministry of Health and the Regional Health Bureaus in Oromia, Dire Dawa, and Amhara:
1. Primary Health Care System Improvement.
2. Strengthening Health Financing.
3. Localization of Resources and Efforts.

Our Journey.

Over the past two and a half decades, Ethiopia has made great improvements in many health indicators, due mainly to a coordinated, extensive effort and intensive investment of the government, global partners, and the community at large in primary health care through the Health Extension Program and the expansion of the district-based primary health care units: primary hospitals, health centers, health posts, and community-based workers.

Given the rapid economic growth and other social development in Ethiopia, dramatic changes in the burden of disease and health service delivery needs can be expected, requiring flexibility and adaptability in the primary health care system overtime. Our projects: Fenot 1.0 & 2.0, HEPCAPS, and Resource Tracking andManagement have been providing support to the Ministry of Health and regional health bureaus on these and related matters.
