Strengthening the Indigenous Health Subsystem

implementation

The general objective of this Technical Cooperation (TC) is to support the Federative Republic of Brazil, through its Ministry of Health (MS), by strengthening the technical capacities of the Indigenous Health Secretariat (SESAI), of the Specialized Indigenous Health Districts (DSEIS, linked to the MS) in the Amazon Legal Region (RAL) and other relevant actors such as states and municipalities in the same region. The specific objectives of the TC are: (i) to develop protocols to address climate emergencies and environmental disasters in the region; (ii) to generate knowledge about alternatives and technologies for the permanent supply of water in these indigenous communities in the region; and (iii) to train and prepare public actors, as well as indigenous communities to respond quickly to climate emergencies.
