CARE Cambodia Health Strengthening Systems: The HSS project is a 5-year project financed by the Global Fund and carried out with local partners in three remote provinces with a high proportion of ethnic minorities. The goal of the project is to strengthen good governance in the health system through community participation, and in so doing ensure that they are able to access quality health services (e.g. related to HIV, Malaria and TB). One major tool employed to achieve this is community score cards.
