PHD will work to ensure intermediary support of all stakes in all the union of the respective upazilas so that they can work as advocates in regard to project activities. PHD will use community-level project events to involve influential community decision-makers – including the local elite, elected officials and religious representatives and create an empowering environment for women and children to learn behaviours that promote good health. The aim is for influential community members not only to support the projects that create such an environment, but also to use their standing in the community to act as intermediaries and advocates. With the project interventions, PHD aims to mobilize communities and, working hand-in-hand with local authorities, ensure that everyone has a comparable level of knowledge and can voice their concerns as a community. These efforts aim to serve as motivation to promote proper maternal, new born and child health (MNCH) and ASRH behaviours. PHD will implement health activities in coordination with the local health and family planning administration. This platform forms the basis for coordination and cooperation through synergistic pooling of information gained from the various projects according to their respective advantages of the individual NGOs and projects they implement in the upazila. The project focuses on four sub-objectives to empower vulnerable families in the host communities in Cox's Bazar. The project activities are integrated within these four objectives. PHD will closely work for Sub-goal 1: Vulnerable girls, boys, women and men have improved access to quality primary health care, including improved access to MHPSS services and referrals.
