1st Year Review [ M&E, Experience in Burkina Faso ] 1 Dr Victor NANA Programme Manager ACCESS-SMC Project Burkina Faso 19/1/16

Introduction March 2015 : SMC implementation plan Putting in place a M&E System:  Description of the M&E system implementation process  Implementation  Difficulties  Challenges for

Implementation Process of the M&E System Objective: Establish an effective mechanism for monitoring and evaluation of SMC to fill in the progress indicators of the ACCESS-SMC project System Establishment Strategy:  Preliminary meetings with NMCP and identification of the actors (alignment of systems with NMCP)  Identification of information needs  Development of the M&E Plan  Technical support from the regional office of Malaria Consortium 3

Implementation Process of the M&E System System Establishment Strategy (continued):  Building skills of the actors (Training Manual)  Design and validation of data collection tools  Designing a SMC campaign database 4

Implementation (1/6) Several stakeholders were involved in the implementation of M&E activities for SMC in 2015  The community distributors (CD),  Fixed point health workers,  Head Nurses,  Ditrict and RHD management teams,  NMCP personnel,  MC personnel. 5 o The actors

Implementation (2/6)  Data that is mainly collected during the SMC cycles.  Primary data that is mainly collected by the CDs and the fixed point health workers.  Rapid assessment survey of C1 and C4  Data collection is supervised by all supervisors (HD, RHD, NMCP and MC) that are deployed on the ground for each cycle. 6 o Data Collection

Implementation(3/6) 7 o Data Transmission NMCP RHD District HSPC Community Level ( CD) MC

Implementation (4/6)  Training of all actors in the M & E system  Data validation:  Field (supervision)  Compiled by HSPC at the end of each day, then validation with head nurse  When entering data  Meeting to review data validation and corrections to database 8 o Quality Assurance / Data Validation (1/2)

Implementation (6/6)  Daily reports are prepared for every day of each cycle,  Preliminary synopsis report is prepared  Final summary report is prepared after data validation  Quarterly reports are prepared, as per ACCESS-SMC procedures  A SMC results table is prepared at the end of the campaign  Rapid satisfaction survey report prepared for C1  Rapid assessment report is prepared at the end of C2 9 o Preparation of Reports

Some survey results Objective: Assess the implementation of SMC activities in the 11 health districts Some implications from the survey results:  Catch up with training of district management team members for campaign supervision  Identify the major difficulties faced by CDs and improve the filling of forms  Strengthen the announcement of the campaign in the health districts using all available communications channels  Strengthen interpersonal communication  Gradually improve the rate of administrative coverage 10

Difficulties  Late arrival of the indicator framework  Late arrival (at the end of the campaign) of the end of cycle report template and the supervision report  Late arrival of project data requirements template (jan 16) 11

Challenges for 2016  Multiplicity of tools  Low education level of CDs for the filling of tools  No observance of data submission deadlines for certain actors  Weak level of database security (Excel) THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION 12
