Health Poverty Action (HPA) formerly Known as Health Unlimited works with some of the poorest and most marginalized communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, often in very difficult environments. We work to enable these communities to achieve improvements to their health, promoting this as one of their fundamental human rights.
HPA has been implementing various programmes in Somaliland since 1994 including SHINE Programme which recently ended in 31st March 2022. Currently HPA implements Multisectoral drought response programme to increase access to lifesaving interventions and social services in 9 district, 3 regions in Somaliland through the fund managed by UNICEF.
All of these programmes are implemented in close partnership with the Ministry of Health Development at central, regional and district levels, and are funded by Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The programmes are implemented with distinct focus on Maternal and Child Health outcomes integrating Health and Nutrition, wash and C4D.
