Background UNICEF Country Programme of Cooperation with the Government of Uganda The UNICEF Country Programme of Cooperation with GoU is fully aligned with the Uganda s Second National Development Plan ) and is integrated within the United Nations Development Assistance Framework UNDAF The overall aim of the country programme is to support national efforts to progressively realize children s rights and is structured around three results-oriented programmes Child Survival and Development (CSD), Basic Education and Adolescent Development (BEAD) and Child Protection (CP) which draw 4

5 upon cross-programme supports in the areas of social policy, advocacy and communications, and programme planning and field support. Programme implementation is supported by a team of 177 staff based in Kampala and three zonal offices serving focus districts in north-eastern (Moroto), north-western (Gulu), and southern (Mbarara) regions of Uganda. The CSD programme component, under which this call is organized, seeks to strengthen national capacity to deliver improved health and nutrition outcomes for children, adolescents, pregnant women and other vulnerable groups and contribute to sustained improvements in population dynamics. The programme promotes a life-cycle approach and focusses on four result areas: 1) reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH); 2) HIV/AIDS and adolescent health; 3) nutrition, and 4) water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Early childhood care and adolescent programming elements are integrated into all result areas to achieve maximum scale and synergy of high-impact interventions in the first and second decades of children s lives. Each result area is underpinned by a strategic approach which emphasizes systems-strengthening with complementary investments in the enabling environment, child services delivery (supply) and community engagement and mobilization (demand). In 2018, UNICEF Uganda office conducted a Mid Term Review (MTR), the key purpose of which was to review the progress, results and experience of the UNICEF Uganda country programme, with the aim of improving the quality and effectiveness of GoU-UNICEF s programmes for children, especially for the most disadvantaged. The principal observation of the MTR is that considerable progress has been made in improving child outcomes in Uganda, but improvements are fragile and the pace of improvement is slowing. Main challenges to continuing progress are the increasing demands of a rapidly growing population, the impacts of refugee flows and climate change, all within a context of slowing economic growth and stagnant budget allocations to essential social services. The MTR recommended continued focus on systems strengthening approach for integrated health service delivery across the different platforms/levels (community, facility, district and national levels) and along the life cycle. One of the key recommendations was to refine the focus district approach by revisiting selection criteria to enable UNICEF intensify support in a limited number of districts which will maximize impact on both equity and national results. This analysis identified 35 districts for a focused UNICEF support using DHSS approach including: Wakiso, Kampala, Mubende, Mukono, Tororo, Iganga, Jinja, Kasese, Mbale, Arua, Kamuli, Bugiri, Isingiro, Mayuge, Rakai, Luwero, Kyenjojo, Kotido, Kaabong, Nakapiripirit, Napak, Abim, Amudat, Moroto, Ntungamo, Mbarara, Adjumani, Hoima, Kamwenge, Kiryandongo, Koboko, Kyegegwa, Lamwo, Moyo, Yumbe. The DHSS approach focuses on strengthening district capacities for evidence-based and risk-informed prioritization and planning, bottleneck identification and removal, coordination, implementation management, resource mobilization, monitoring and reporting. UNICEF Health Systems Strengthening approach Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) has been at the core of the UNICEF approach in the health sector for some time and more recently given a growing attention within the organization, especially in relation to District Health Systems Strengthening (DHSS) work (UNICEF Approach to Health Systems Strengthening, 2016). Governments and donors acknowledge UNICEF as a valued partner in DHSS because of its contributions of critical resources, technical expertise, leadership, and in-country presence. 5

6 UNICEF s health systems strengthening approach is integrally linked to its work on health sector interventions concerning health, HIV, nutrition and early childhood development across the maternal, newborn, child and adolescent lifecycle. UNICEF distinguishes between health systems strengthening interventions and health programme support. Health systems strengthening interventions target more than one programme area or health system component to address drivers of overall, system-wide performance, such as policies/plans, organization and relationships. Health programme support is narrower in focus, typically linked to one programme area and often characterized by the provision of direct inputs. UNICEF is working to align its investments in these two areas for greater impact. By improving evidence-based planning and management (a system strengthening intervention), UNICEF s programme support is better targeted to address the most pressing bottlenecks to service delivery and the enabling environment for the success of programme support is improved. By working with government to demonstrate that programme support when deployed efficiently, can benefit multiple interventions and improve population health, UNICEF builds a case for national prioritization, investment and enhanced ownership. In this way, complementary systems strengthening and support interventions help build the capacity of national health systems over time. UNICEF Uganda s District Health System Strengthening Approach With the aim of supporting a one district health plan; UNICEF s district health systems strengthening (DHSS) approach focuses on three inter-related components where UNICEF has a comparative advantage. The three components, (1) Strengthening health information systems, (2) Improving district health management team ability to use data to manage, and (3) Improving mutual accountability mechanisms between the health system and communities contribute to improved evidence-based planning. These three focus areas are further explained below: Strengthening health information systems: The availability of timely and high quality data is central to developing an accurate assessment of health system and specific intervention performance. Too often, districts do not have access to the data they need to plan strategically, assess implementation performance and evaluate progress. As part of its DHSS intervention, UNICEF works with districts to resolve critical data gaps and improve the quality of data collection and transmission, including through the strategic use of mobile technology. As one of the lead technical partners on ehealth, UNICEF-Uganda supports the MoH to develop standards for the interoperability of multiple information systems used for health (human resources, supplies, service delivery statistics etc.) so that managers can more easily access, triangulate and use data. This also includes integrating information systems used for health with other national systems, including for example national civil registration and vital statistics. UNICEF is also supporting the MoH to expand the national electronic Health Care Provider Registry, ihris, to include Village Health Teams (VHTs) and Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) The Community Health Worker Registry. As a permanent member of the national Health Information Systems (HIS) Thematic Working Group, UNICEF provides lead technical support to the MoH on development, implementation, quality improvement and integration of mobile data collection tools such as mtrac and FamilyConnect with DHIS2, the national online health management information system platform. UNICEF is also supporting the MoH to develop and operationalize community health information systems to better account for community health services and performance. As a permanent member of the ehealth Technical Working Group, UNICEF also supports the MoH to review, assess and harmonize ehealth innovations before they are piloted and implemented. 6

7 Improving district health management team ability to use data to manage: Too often district health plans are recycled from year to year with little adjustment, while progress remains stagnant. To reach the unreached and work towards universal health coverage with quality, it is critical to dig deeper and understand how health intervention performance can be improved. To build district management capacity in data use, UNICEF employs a participatory seven-step approach to build district health team and stakeholder capacity to better plan and monitor using local health information. The heart of the approach is the use of bottleneck analysis and causal analysis methodologies that guide health teams to diagnose why high impact interventions are not performing optimally in the district and to identify local, feasible solutions for resolving health system bottlenecks. As progress is made, it helps districts identify new implementation priorities, thus ensuring that district plans are more dynamic and responsive to evolving circumstances. In 2016, this approach was adopted as part of the MoH standard planning guidelines. In line with this approach, UNICEF is also working to simplify routine district data use for progress tracking by optimizing and building district capacity on the use of the DHIS2 platform. To-date, UNICEF Uganda has designed an RMNCAH scorecard that easily displays progress on key indicators at all levels of the health system. This helps direct managers to areas in need of improvement and facilitates improved bureaucratic accountability. UNICEF is also working with the Ministry of Health on the development of programmespecific dashboards in DHIS2. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Identify underserved groups DHIS2 bottleneck analysis and action tracking dashboards are currently under development globally through a UNICEF University of Oslo/HISP partnership and expected in By strengthening district capacity to articulate and execute evidence-based plans, UNICEF also aims to create the conditions to improve partner confidence in district management and to support district plans financially and technically. This will greatly improve the efficiency in the health sector by reducing fragmentation, parallel processes and investment that does not cohere with government priorities. Bolstering citizen voice and strengthening accountability mechanisms: Community engagement in health planning can improve the perceived quality of plans and build trust between district authorities and communities. Ensuring that typically excluded groups have a meaningful voice is important and empowering, but must be actively supported. Under this prong, UNICEF aims to ensure community perspectives inform health planning and monitoring processes and that feedback loops from the health system to communities are functional to promote greater mutual accountability. UNICEF Uganda is currently modelling social accountability approaches that build on local health governance structures and capacities as well as enhancing the use of mobile technology to ensure that community perspectives are represented, recorded and addressed through for example U-Report and FamilyConnect Client Satisfaction Module. In addition, UNICEF Uganda is committed to ensuring community engagement during the district budgeting and planning processes to ensure that the voice and health aspirations of the community is reflected. UNICEF has a comparative advantage at this level due to its clear mandate and strong advocacy voice; ability to leverage multi-sectoral action; and ability to bring deep field experience and evidence to the policy table at global, regional and national levels.

8 the district level is supported by UNICEFs engagement in core health system functions at the national level including our involvement in the advocacy and technical support for policy development in health governance, supply systems and health information. Community Systems Strengthening UNICEF believes that all communities should be child friendly communities. For communities to be child friendly, they must have good access and uptake of holistic, social services that transition over the life course of a child and that are supported by integrated and linked social service systems. To realize this vision, UNICEF works to improve four key enablers for child friendly communities: 1) strong local governance and accountability structures, 2) integrated multi-sectoral community-based systems, 3) integrated, high quality services, and 4) effective local partnerships In many communities, the health system is more highly developed at the community-level than other social sector systems, but this is not always the case. UNICEF works to progressively realize the delivery of a multi-sectoral set of interventions using existing community systems as entry points, regardless of sectoral focus, in recognition of the multiple and overlapping needs of children and families. Uganda recently formalized a strategy to adopt a formal community health extension worker (CHEW) cadre. This cadre will complement Uganda s Village Health Team (VHT) strategy, which is a network of volunteers nominated by communities to support health promotion and referral at the community-level and has been active in Uganda since The government is planning to train and absorb 15,000 CHEWs nationwide from 2018 to UNICEF has been a leading supporter of the development and operationalization of both the VHT and CHEW strategies, through technical and financial assistance to advocacy, policies, guidelines, tools, training s. UNICEF also works to support an integrated of community-level services. Presently, UNICEF-Uganda works through community structures such as VHTs and mobile technologies such as FamilyConnect to support the delivery of Integrated Community Case Management (iccm), New-born Care, Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF), Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Key Family Care Practices (KFCP). To ensure the integration of s and information exchange, UNICEF supports monthly VHT meetings with health facilities and quarterly VHT supervision meetings. UNICEF is also working with the MoH to strengthen guidelines and align partner initiatives on transport vouchers for expecting women. Anticipated Results UNICEF uses the maturity model framework to monitor progress in its HSS/DHSS interventions. UNICEF anticipates the achievement of these results at the district level on information systems governance. The maturity model is on a continuum ranging from minimal at the lowest end to Effective at the mature end. The following aspects will be measured: Table 1: Maturity Statements in Information Systems and Distric Governance Information Systems Community Health information is captured and integrated into DHIS2 District Governance Evidence based annual planning, monitoring and supervision. 8
