JARDO endeavors to strengthen and increase access to essential services in health and nutrition as well as enhance community governance and self-help mechanisms. We also enhance the capacity of society as well as advocate for policies that support sustainable development, inclusive governance, and access to services and protection for women and children against preventable diseases.

Our Health strategies and approaches seek to advance health and nutrition initiatives beyond survival, promoting child development and overall well-being, and integration of multi-sector interventions. We believe that this approach will prevent child deaths, reduce illness (especially infectious diseases and mental disorders), and improve the nu-tritional status and holistic well-being of children. It will achieve by promoting life-saving behaviors, healthy and equitable social norms, social capital, and social accountability, and by improving sustained access to comprehensive quality health and nutrition services at the community level, the health system, and the policy environment. It will also do this by working back further in the chain of causation, working with adolescents, men, and women of reproductive age to prevent the conditions and diseases that drive under-five mortality.
