CURRENT STATUS

• HFR portal launched (10-Sept)

• HFR/DHIS integration is in progress and finalizing HFR/DHIS mapping IDs

• Ongoing data collection tool review

• Continue to improve data quality in HFR i.e. Services offered (can this replace some facility surveys?)

LESSONS LEARNED

• 2 original MFL main activities in M&E SI did not reflect the actual MRL/HFR complexity

• Joint ownership within the MOHSW takes more time to meet multiple owners expectations and leadership buy-in

• Harmonizing lists with deletions/merging of HF difficult to track through API with deleted IDs

• Need to move the DCS approvals into their routine work and allocate funds
