Integrated Programming Necessary To Address Root Causes Of Poverty, Poor Health
"From the rural villages in northern Uganda to the bustling city of Kampala, the poverty-fighting programs I visited last week have something notable in common: they demonstrate how integrated programming can help achieve sustainable changes in the lives [of] women, men and their families," Helene Gayle, president and CEO of CARE USA, writes in the Huffington Post Blog. "Issues such as health care, education and economic empowerment cannot be addressed in a vacuum. Thus, effective programs need to tackle the multiple root causes of poverty," she writes, adding, "There is no doubt that a woman's economic empowerment is very much interconnected to her health and the well-being of her children."
