The availability of good infrastructure and adequate equipment and supplies in rural communities and health facilities plays a major role in improved outcomes for maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH); family planning (FP); and malaria management and disease prevention. Underinvestment in public works projects, coupled with a growing population, has increased pressure on the existing health infrastructure in Malawi. Over its six years of support, the USAID ONSE Health Activity implemented infrastructure solutions that positively impacted over half of Malawi’s population.
