3. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT Bangladesh has shown strong commitment to end preventable child and maternal deaths by 2030.

This commitment has been made in the spirit of achieving universal health coverage (UHC) and is in

alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Ending Preventable Child and Maternal

Deaths (EPCMD). To achieve SDG target 3.1 and 3.2, Bangladesh has to bring its maternal mortality

rate (MMR) down to 59 from the current level of 169 per 100,000 live births and neonatal mortality

from 16 to 12 or fewer deaths per 1000 live births and under-5 mortality from 29 to 25 or fewer deaths

per 1,000 live birth. The proposed project site- Rangpur Division, 34.3% of households are in the lowest

quintile, and key maternal and newborn health outcome indicators are lower than the national

average and other regions of Bangladesh. For example, national level MMR was 169 per 100,000 live

births in 2018 while MMR was 232 per 100,000 live births. Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) in Rangpur

division was higher than national average in 2018 (16 % vs. 17% per 1,000 live births).

Major causes of maternal and newborn deaths in Bangladesh and Rangpur: According to Bangladesh

Maternal Mortality and Health Care Survey 2016 (BMMS 2016), ante and post-partum haemorrhage

(31 percent) and eclampsia (24 percent) were the most common causes of maternal deaths followed

by abortion (seven percent) and obstructed or prolonged labour (three percent). Seven percent of

deaths were related to other direct causes (e.g. puerperal infection and sepsis, Surgical/C Section

complications, etc.) A large proportion (20 per cent) of maternal deaths were due to indirect causes

(cerebrovascular and cardiovascular complications, liver diseases, etc.).

Comparative analysis of the different causes of maternal deaths between BMMS 2010 and 2016

Surveys, the proportionate distribution of haemorrhage as a cause of death remained the same (31

percent), a slight rise for eclampsia (20 to 24 percent) and significant increase in abortion-related

maternal deaths (one percent to seven percent). However, proportionate distribution of indirect

Page 7: Save the Children - Bdjobs.com

causes of maternal deaths substantially decreased from 35 percent in 2010 to 20 percent in 2016.

Maternal deaths were higher during the postpartum period, this pattern was consistent during BMMS

2001, BMMS 2010 and BMMS 2016 indicating the importance of early postnatal care (PNC) to reduce

maternal mortality (NIPORT, MEASURE Evaluation, and ICDDRB. 2012. BMMS, 2016).

Gaibandha district, the proposed project location, have system and community levels barriers to

ensure essential maternal and newborn health care services. BMMS 2016 Report showed that

proportion of deliveries attended by skilled birth attendants and deliveries at facility were lower than

national average; Moreover, Gaibandha district is lagging behind in most of the maternal health

indicators (like at least one ANC, ANC 4+ visit, quality ANC service, facility delivery, PNC for mothers

with two days of delivery) within the division. Even within Rangpur division, Gaibandha district has

been at particular disadvantage, and significant disparities and variation in health service utilization.

4. SCOPE OF BASELINE

4.1 Purpose and key questions

The overall objective of this study is to generate baseline value, both quantitative and qualitative, as benchmarks for the project’s monitoring and evaluation and provide an understanding of the present situation of MNCH-FP services which can support in reducing maternal and newborn mortality rate in project location. Specific objectives: The study will establish baseline values of indicators for intended objective and result against which future change can be measured. The specific objectives of this study are to: - Identify the benchmarks for project’s intended outcomes, against a set of indicators as stipulated i

n the log frame. - Provide information for setting realistic and achievable targets for the project period. - Identify the institutional capacity and gaps to minimize the quality health services in given district - Identify key contextual factors and understanding of the situation, e.g. health facility condition, va

cant position, road communication etc. in intervention areas - Assess the current status of MNCH-FP services in project location and quality of these ser

vices. - Assess current status of supporting mechanism of local govt. institutions

The study should answer the following key questions:

▪ What is the current situation of MNCH-FP and quality of services?

▪ What are the factors related to the beneficiaries those are reluctant to visit the health facilities?

▪ What are the barriers that constraint vulnerable children and families to access services?

▪ What additional services and supports are required to expanded MNCH-FP services in rural level?

▪ Are the proposed activities of the current project being feasible or require any adjustment?

▪ What are the priority issues in-terms of the sustainability by involving local government and

community influential?

5. BASELINE METHODOLOGY

5.1 Baseline design and sampling

The study will use both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data will be collected from mentioned upazilla of Gaibandha. Bedsides the desk review, consultant will propose participatory tools for qualitative information collection, i.e., field visits, interviews involving key project stakeholders,

Page 9: Save the Children - Bdjobs.com

6

Discussion with Children, Observation, FGD, KII other required tools and quantitative data collection tools also will be proposed by consultant.

The consultant is expected to prepare methodology, appropriate tools, and sampling frame with representative sample size to meet the objectives of the study.

The methodology and relevant tools should be adjusted in consultation with Save the Children, tested, and finalized before data collection. The detailed methodological approach will be designed by the consultant in the inception report.

The evaluator is expected to conduct a participatory evaluation ensuring active and meaningful involvement of beneficiaries and other stakeholders. The following methods and sample seize are suggested (these are indicative only):

Primary source:

• Conduct facility observation (at least 5 UHFWCs) for reporting, record keeping, data

management, management committee, service delivery, referral system etc.

• Key Informant Interviews (at least 20) with service providers (Health and Family Planning),

local govt. representatives (Union Parishad) etc.

• Focus Group Discussions (at least 10) with front line health workers, community group or

community support groups members, male/female/adolescent groups etc.

• Interview with women (married and unmarried) of reproductive age (at least 800) who

received ANC, PNC, Delivery, FP etc. services from the selected facility or community health

workers.

Secondary source:

• Review relevant documents related to this evaluation (policy, guideline, strategy, reports etc.)

• Review of existing data, e.g. DHIS2, FPMIS, project MIS etc.

NB: Consultant will propose innovative and alternative ways to conduct the interview with sampled respondents if physical access is not possible due to COVID-19 crisis.

5.2 Data

All primary data collected during the baseline must facilitate disaggregation by gender, age, disability, location or remoteness, vulnerability status etc. It will be a requirement of the study team to source additional external data sources to add value to the study. The study will explore any personal and professional influence or potential bias among those collections or analysing data been recorded and addressed or mitigated ethically.

A range of project documentation will be made available to the assessment team that provides information about the design and implementation. The assessment team is required to adhere to the Save the Children Child Safeguarding, Data protection and Privacy policies throughout all project activities.

5.3 Ethical considerations

It is expected that this baseline will be:

Page 10: Save the Children - Bdjobs.com

7

▪ Child participatory. Children should be meaningfully involved in the baseline as a holistic process

and not only as informants. Refer to the Practice Standards in Children’s Participation

(International Save the Children Alliance 2005); and Global Indicator technical guidance (SCI M&E

handouts Package, Volume 2).

▪ Inclusive. Ensure that children from different ethnic, social and religious backgrounds have the

chance to participate, as well as children with disabilities and children who may be excluded or

discriminated against in their community.

▪ Ethical: The baseline must be guided by the following ethical considerations:

o Child safeguarding – demonstrating the highest standards of behaviour towards children

o Sensitive – to child rights, gender, inclusion and cultural contexts

o Openness - of information given, to the highest possible degree to all involved parties

o Confidentiality and data protection - measures will be put in place to protect the identity

of all participants and any other information that may put them or others at risk.

o Public access - to the results when there are not special considerations against this

o Broad participation - the relevant parties should be involved where possible

o Reliability and independence - the baseline should be conducted so that findings and

conclusions are correct and trustworthy

It is expected that:

▪ Data collection methods will be age and gender appropriate.

▪ Baseline activities will provide a safe, creative space where children feel that their thoughts and

ideas are important.

▪ A risk assessment will be conducted that includes any risks related to children or young people’s

participation.

▪ Informed consent will be used where possible.
