COUNTDDOWN TO 2015: Health Systems and Policy and Finance Workshop Windsor Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya

25-28 February, 2014

WORKSHOP REPORT

I. BACKGROUND

Countdown to 2015 (CD) is currently supporting in-depth Country Case Studies in six countries —

Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Peru. The aim of the case studies is to better

understand the complex factors contributing to or detracting from progress in reproductive, maternal,

newborn, and child health (RMNCH) in each of the selected countries. This involves assessing the policy,

systems, and financial factors influencing the development and implementation of RMNCH programs. A

second aim of the case studies is to build country-level capacity to conduct rigorous research and to engage

in ongoing monitoring and analyses of progress in RMNCH. An overview of the Country Case Studies is

available in Annex 1.

Each Country Case Study builds on data evaluating changes in RMNCH results. The IHP Evaluation

framework (Figure 1) has been used to guide RMNCH policy implementation, and outlines steps for

measuring reactions of a healthcare system to the implementation of each RMNCH policy. A CD capacity

building workshop held in June 2013 in Pelotas, Brazil provided training on the coverage, equity and LiST

analyses needed for the case studies. These analyses focused on outcome and impact measures in the IHP

Evaluation framework. The workshop in Nairobi built on the previous workshop to improve the capacity of

Country Case Study teams in conducting health systems and policy (HSP) and finance analyses, which are

critical pieces of Country Case Studies and cross-country analyses. These analyses focused on assessing the

inputs and outputs components in the IHP Evaluation framework.

The workshop provided training to Country Case Study teams on a standard set of three CD HSP tools that

were developed as part of the qualitative analysis for Country Case Studies. The aims and objectives of the

three HSP tools are provided in Annex 2. Prior to the workshop, CD HSP facilitators held webinars on the

HSP tools with participants from CD Country Case Study teams. Participants were requested to start filling

CD HSP tools 1 and 2 prior to attending the workshop.

CD Finance facilitators also shared country-specific Official Development Assistance (ODA) data and a

briefing note with participants prior to the workshop. Participants were requested to review their country

ODA data and begin compiling basic tables and graphs. Additionally, participants were requested to bring

any National Health Accounts (NHA) data as well as any other studies on tracking RMNCH spending that is

available for their country.

II. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

The workshop aimed to meet the following overall objectives:

1. Build capacity for analyses of factors that have an impact on progress for RMNCH for:

– HSP

– Resource tracking (RT) analyses through tracking of resource flows

2. Increase comparability of analyses and results presentation across CD Country Case Studies

3. Integrate HSP and RT analyses within the overall CD Country Case Studies

Specific HSP objectives were as follows:

1. Develop a standardized CD policy and program timeline to assess national story for context

change and technical, health sector, and multi-sectoral policies relevant to RMNCH (HSP Tool 1)

2. Use the CD RMNCH policy & systems tracer indicators dashboard to assess policy status and

change over time (HSP Tool 2)

3. For identified or proposed foci of the case study, evaluate the extent to which policies have

been translated into effective program implementation (HSP Tool 3)

4. Identify facilitating factors and bottlenecks for access, quality and coverage of interventions,

story of change for that country and implications

Specific RT objectives were as follows:

1. Review available RT data relevant to country case studies and complete, refine or plan the

following analyses:

a. ODA

b. NHA

c. Other special studies in some countries e.g. of household costs

d. Refine analysis plans especially linked to the focus of case study

2. Work in country teams to develop a plan of action for the Country Case Study and identify needs

for technical assistance

V. PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK

On the final day of the workshop, participants answered a feedback questionnaire which included 14

questions regarding workshop content and organization (see Annex 5). Some questions required

participants to indicate their level of satisfaction using a score from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly

agree).

The questionnaire was completed by 29 out of 30 country team participants, who held qualifications in

public health/epidemiology, clinical medicine, statistics, or economics/finance. Major findings of this

evaluation are summarized below.

The majority of participants provided positive assessments of the introductory, HSP and RT sessions in

the workshop. However, a few participants (< 10%) gave low scores to the talks, facilitation and group

work relating to HSP Tool 3 and RT analyses.

Participant comments

Participants were asked to provide comments about workshop preparation and content. Select

comments that are representative of the feedback received are transcribed below.

Workshop preparation

“The webinars before the workshop were good, but we need other webinars to share ongoing progress

in the case studies.”

“It was good receiving Tools 1 and 2 prior to the workshop to allow for necessary preparation. I feel it

would have been useful to receive Tool 3 earlier. Furthermore, if Tool 3 could be simplified I feel it could

be more useful.”

Overall

“I really enjoyed my time with the Countdown group and other countries as well. This is such a dynamic,

motivated and passionate group! Feeling everyone's excitement motivated and propelled me forward!

Thanks.”

“It was very participatory and presentations on the group discussions were relevant.”

“Overall, it was a good workshop. I was able to better understand and apply the tools, present our

achievements so far, get feedback, define what is still missing, & plan next steps.”

“The workshop provided an opportunity to understand the process and learn from other countries.”

“It was a great opportunity to have key members of the team focusing on the case study for 4 days. A lot

was achieved on many levels - analysis and process!”

“What I liked least about the workshop is that not all partners involved in the case study were involved.”

Participants also expressed interest in having a RT/financial analyses protocol and/or tools.

VI. NEXT STEPS

CD global level

The following next steps were identified at the CD global level:

• Coordinated support for crosscutting analyses, i.e. mortality, coverage, equity, HSP and RT

• Consider a joint publication, e.g. PLoS series collection, and a linked writing workshop

• Further develop HSP tools and protocols, in particular:

• More standardized graphic displays for HSP Tools 1 and 2

• HSP 3 tool on implementation needs more work and also to link to output

visuals. Participants expressed a particular interest in GIS mapping

• Finance/RT:

• Consider developing protocol and/or tools relevant to CD case studies

• Some countries requested more technical support

CD country case study teams

The following next steps were identified at the CD country case study team level:

• Ongoing work to identify the overall story and focus of CD case study

• Increased technical support in collaboration with partners in-country

• Each country is likely to need an analysis and/or writing workshop

• Plan links to CD events, national accountability, and/or score cards

ANNEX 2 – OVERVIEW OF CD HSP TOOLS

The webinars and workshop and provided training to Country case study teams on a standard set of

three CD HSP tools that were developed as part of the qualitative analysis for Country Case Studies. The

aims and objectives of the three HSP tools are as follows:

Tool 1: CD HSP Policy & Program Timeline

CD HSP Tool 1 aims to understand through a standardized process with standardized content, what HSP

factors have contributed to change (or the lack thereof) in RMNCH in each of the countries conducting a

CD Country Case Study. Specific objectives are as follows:

Describe: To use a chronological timeline to document and analyze what policies, programs,

implementation strategies and pivotal moments have changed for RMNCH from 1990 to the

current year (i.e. “telling the story”)

Analyze: To use the timeline to assess variation for RMNCH policies and strategies at the national

level, highlighting periods of policy intensity for given topics and gaps.

Apply: To describe the story of RMNCH attention in policy change, and what is missing.

Tool 2: CD HSP Dashboard for Tracer Indicators

CD HSP Tool 2 aims to assess tracer RMNCH policy and systems indicators reported by the Countdown to

2015 in the country profiles to produce the CD Policy & Systems Dashboard for the country. Specific

objectives are as follows:

To systematically assess the development and tracking over time of selected RMNCH tracer

policy indicators and related health systems tracer indicators reported in CD Country Profiles

To visually represent policy and system tracers in the form of the Policy & Systems Dashboard to

bring about further interpretation and analysis

Tool 3: CD HSP In-Depth Policy to Action Assessment

CD HSP Tool 3 aims to guide Country Case Study teams in assessing the strength of policy formulation

and implementation related to the focus of their case study. Specific objectives are as follows:

To assess the readiness of policy or program formulation for specific RMNCH relevant policies

or program(s) that have been selected for further assessment in the Country Case Study

To assess the completeness and strength of policy/program implementation related to each of

the selected RMNCH policy foci of the Country Case Study

Countdown used the policy heuristics of (i) agenda setting; (ii) policy formulation; (iii) policy

implementation; and (iv) policy evaluation as guiding principles in the development and analysis of the

three CD HSP tools. Figure 2 shows the CD HSP tools within this policy heuristic — Tool 1 focuses on

assessing agenda setting, Tool 2 focuses on assessing policy formulation, and Tool 3 focuses on assessing

policy formulation and strength of program implementation.
