  • Improves health provider skills
  • Strengthens health systems
  • Builds links between communities and formal health systems
  • Promotes the use of volunteers for delivery of information, training, and care

Integrated Management of Childhood Illness

imci_wgVISION

The IMCI Working Group supports the development, documentation and advocacy of strong, truly integrated program approaches that maximize community-based child health impact.

2009 Highlights

In 2009, the C-IMCI Working Group hosted a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meeting on the Role of the C-IMCI Framework in Today’s Child Health Environment. The meeting analyzed the lessons learned from World Relief and Plan case studies and other IMCI experiences and determined the role and positioning of the Framework in the current child health environment.
