Health Systems Strengthening in MCSP Country Programs: A Review of MCSP’s Work to Strengthen | The Maternal Child Survival Program (MCSP) incorporates health systems strengthening (HSS) approaches to support programming along nine technical areas—family planning, maternal health, newborn health, child health, immunization, nutrition, malaria, HIV/AIDS, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). To understand the breadth of MCSP’s HSS work within country programs, the Health Systems Strengthening and Equity team conducted a comprehensive review of country program workplans active during the fourth program year (October 2017–September 2018), mapping activities to the HSS strategies identified in the 2017 USAID’s Acting on the Call report.
