About Community Partnerships for Respectful Care CPRC Project
The U.S. Agency for International Development USAID under the New
Partnerships Initiative NPI has awarded CPRC to the Americares Foundation
Inc.. NPI is shifting the focus of USAID’s traditional partners to mentoring,
capacity-building, and technical oversight, by using umbrella mechanisms and
sub-awards strategically to enable new and underutilized local partners to
lead development in their own communities and advance the Journey to Self-
Reliance. USAID seeks to expand its network of partnerships with local
organizations because they can mobilize quickly and take advantage of long-
standing grassroots relationships to bring needed interventions directly to
people at risk.

The Americares Community Partnerships for Respectful Care CPRC project is a
five-year, $25 million effort under NPI to reduce mortality and morbidity
among mothers and their children through improved community-based health care.
Americares will work with Christian Connections for International Health
CCIH and its local affiliates in the United Republic of Tanzania Christian
Social Services Commission-CSSC and the Republic of Liberia to leverage the
expertise and reach of local and locally established organizations, by
building their institutional capacity. This new partnership will work closely
with Tanzanian and Liberian communities and faith-based networks to improve
access to, and demand for, high-quality, community-based health care for
mothers, newborns, and children; voluntary family planning; nutrition; and
