Project for the Implementation of Citizen Participation Technology in Health to Improve the Health System – TOPICS – 2017–2021

The project aims to provide public decision-makers and the general public with evidence from technological platforms and, through this to: 1) strengthen the capacities of partners in Benin, Burkina Faso and DRC; 2) improve citizen engagement in democratic processes, so that citizens can enjoy their rights and make health systems more responsive to their needs. The intervention targets the issues of citizen participation in health policies and the power to act, through community surveys on technological supports to assess the quality of care management, access to and use of health services by vulnerable populations. The ultimate result of the project is to increase the participation of women and men, youth, girls and boys, as well as marginalized groups in democratic processes, enabling them to enjoy and exercise their health rights..
