NexSa
Triple Nexus and inclusive health
Strengthening the resilience of health systems and communities in fragile contexts in Haiti and Cameroon.
Description
NexSa, this project works to ensure that displaced women and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence living in fragile contexts in Haiti and Cameroon have equitable access to healthcare and can assert their rights. The project empowers them through an innovative approach that integrates humanitarian action, development, and peacebuilding.
Context
NexSa responds to the protracted crises affecting communities in Haiti and Cameroon. Security instability, mass displacement, and fragile health systems exacerbate gender inequalities and limit access to medical and psychosocial care services.

Our approach

Nexus :
Intersectional feminism:
analysis of power relations
Decolonial approach:
valorization of local knowledge
Social determinants of health:
action on structural factors

Concrete changes are expected
Accessible and appropriate healthcare
We are strengthening local health systems to provide services tailored to the needs of displaced and survivor women, particularly in sexual and reproductive health, while encouraging the adoption of behaviors that promote well-being and strengthening protective factors within communities, and also supporting the economic empowerment of vulnerable people.
Women’s organizations that have a voice
We strengthen the capacity of women’s and inclusion organisations to promote and protect health rights, by amplifying their voice in decision-making spaces.
