ADPP’s health work is based on the premise that by mobilising communities through knowledge empowerment, and facilitating access to prevention and treatment, people’s behaviours will change and they will live more fulfilling and healthy lives. This is done by working with schools-based programmes, via Community Health Agents programmes or a combination of both.

Irrespective of approach, the aim is to enable individuals to make conscious and informed decisions about personal health, families to take measures for the whole household and community members to work together to reduce or eliminate sources of infection and disease.

ADPP's community health work is carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and local administrations.
