The Ingobyi Activity builds upon the tremendous gains Rwanda has made in the health sector as well as previous USAID investments in the health sector to provide a healthier, more productive future for all Rwandans. Ingobyi improves the availability, quality, and utilization of RMNCH and malaria services with resilience and sustainability.

• Support districts and facilities to compile data from different systems, including death audits, accreditation assessments, ISS/DQA, mentoring reports, and PBF evaluations in order to make integrated action plans that include gaps identified through all these parallel systems.
