4 Operational Challenges to meet the MDG Targets Challenge I: Setting priorities Challenge II: Choosing interventions Challenge III: Challenge IV: Monitoring & Evaluation of interventions Did you make a difference? 4

5 Goal: Group all possible interventions Starting Point: MDG 1: Poverty MDG 2: Education MDG 3: Gender Equality MDG 4: Child Mortality MDG 5: Maternal Health MDG 6: Combat Diseases MDG 7: Environ ment MDG 8: Partnership 5

6 MDG 1: Poverty MDG 2: Education MDG 3: Gender Equality MDG 4: Child Mortality MDG 5: Maternal Health MDG 6: Combat Diseases MDG 7: Environ ment Example MDG 7: Partnership Family Planning Assisted Delivery EmOC Pre-Postnatal Care Nutrition Governance Step 1: Group all possible interventions 6

7 MDG 5: Maternal Health Example Family Planning Assisted Delivery EmOC Pre-Postnatal Care Nutrition Governance Supply Demand Availability & Access Quality Socio-cultural issues Economic factors Awareness Early Marriage Son Preference Women s reproductive choices down to the lowest meaningful level 7

8 Example Early Marriage Promote laws to raise the age of marriage Functional marriage registration and data collection systems - Mobilizing community based organizations, women's groups, local governing bodies and youth groups to act as 'watchdogs/action groups' against early marriage Retraining girls in schools through policy advocacy and community-based awareness building Life Skills Education in formal and non-formal settings for equipping young people with health/srh education and skills, such as negotiation skills for postponing early marriage/delaying pregnancy Step 2: Add possible actions under lowest level 8

10 Family Planning Supply Availability Variety of Contraceptives CPR TFR Unmet Needs Quality Failure Rate Awareness Early Marriage Cultural& Social Intervention I Intervention II Intervention III Demand Son Preference MDG 5: Maternal Health Economic factors Women s Reproductive Choices MMR Rate of Fistula Example Indicator Tracking Tool, e.g. DevInfo Specific Interventions: M&E Tool Step 4: Track indicators at different levels AND monitor specific interventions (through M&E systems) 10

11 Challenge I: Setting priorities MDG 5: Maternal Health Family Planning Supply Demand Availability Quality Cultural& Social Economic Awareness Early Marriage Son Preference Women s Role to Reproduce 11

12 Challenge II: Choosing interventions Early Marriage Promote laws to raise the age of marriage Retraining girls in schools through policy advocacy and community-based awareness building Provide Life Skills Education in formal and non-formal settings for equipping young people with health/srh education and skills, such as negotiation skills for postponing early marriage/delaying pregnancy 12

13 Challenge III: M&E of interventions Early Marriage Promote laws to raise the age of marriage Retraining girls in schools through policy advocacy and community-based awareness building Provide Life Skills Education in formal and nonformal settings for equipping young people with health/srh education and skills, such as negotiation skills for postponing early marriage/delaying pregnancy M&E 13
