SUMMARY:Lessons from Nigeria in collaborative planning for health campaign programs
DESCRIPTION:The Health Campaign Effectiveness Program awarded the Clinton Health Access Initiative and Ibolda Health International\, both based in Nigeria\, funding to identify\, support and document collaborative planning approaches for integrated health campaigns. On 1 September 2021\, the awardees will enhance the Health Campaign Effectiveness Coalition’s understanding of the complex and collaborative process that requires input from multiple stakeholders from the different health programs and across the global\, national\, regional and local levels of governments and implementing partners to deliver integrated campaigns.  \n  \nThe Presentation Teams \n\nThe Clinton Health Access Initiative conducted a retrospective study of lessons learnt from the 2019/2020 implementation of Measles and Meningitis A integrated campaigns in Northern Nigeria in the context of COVID – a case study of Kogi\, Niger and Kwara States. The Clinton Health Access Initiative collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Health and the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency\, National Bureau of Statistics\, and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. In this presentation\, the Clinton Health Access Initiative draws on their experience working on delivery of supplemental immunization campaigns (SIA) and mass vaccination campaigns with key partners in the Government of Nigeria.\nIbolda Health International supported facilitation and documentation of the collaborative planning phase of campaign integration. The project took place in Gombe and Jigawa States. The project addressed seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) and distribution of insecticide treated nets (ITN). Ibolda Health International collaborated with the National Malaria Elimination Programme and associated sub-committees.\n\n  \nWith funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\, The Health Campaign Effectiveness Program made eight collaborative campaign planning awards in response to a knowledge gap surfaced in the first annual Coalition meeting last October. Participants expressed a need to learn about the negotiation and decision-making process used by countries and partners when considering whether and how best to integrate campaigns. Participants called for documentation about how countries implement collaborative campaign planning and the factors that enable or hinder such collaboration. Participants were interested in learning about approaches used to develop shared data systems\, joint  microplans\, budgets\, logistics and other infrastructure\, and develop joint communication\, monitoring  and evaluation plans.   \nThis lessons-learned event aims to advance learning\, collaboration and communication across health campaign disease domains\, and among campaign planners\, implementers\, and evaluators that represent government agencies\, multi- and bi-lateral organizations\, funding and philanthropic organizations\, academia\, and implementing partner organizations. This event is hosted by the Health Campaign Effectiveness Program of the Task Force for Global Health and highlights innovative campaign approaches and delivery models. \nRegister now.

SUMMARY:Test & Learn Session 4: Cost and efficiencies related to integrated campaigns: Methods & findings from Sierra Leone and Nigeria
DESCRIPTION:Join the Test & Learn session on 27 July 2021 at 8AM EST for a thought-provoking conversation on campaign costing. \nGlobal evidence on what it costs to conduct a campaign is limited\, and cost evidence on integrated campaigns is virtually non-existent. To address these issues\, and to inform methodological guidance on immunization costing\, ThinkWell has conducted two costing studies around integrated campaigns: Sierra Leone delivered MR\, OPV\, Vitamin A and deworming tablets\, and a yellow fever campaign in Nigeria which was partially integrated with Meningitis A vaccine. Early findings show efficiencies in major financial cost drivers such as per diem and transport cost\, but also highlight the importance of the existing health workforce in delivering integrated campaigns. \nThe discussion will be led by Laura Boonstoppel\, Program Manager at ThinkWell. Laura is a senior economist with 10+ years of experience in global health\, health financing\, and development economics. At ThinkWell\, she is currently the project director for the Economics of Last Mile Delivery Hub\, and has previously led other immunization costing projects\, allocative efficiency analyses\, health labor market analyses\, and contributed to strategic purchasing projects for TB and family planning. She holds a MSc in economics from the University of Geneva\, and a BSc in economics and business economics from the VU University in Amsterdam. \nRegister now.\nThe Test and Learn Series aims to advance learning\, collaboration and communication in critical health campaign issues across different health campaign domains\, country leaders\, global actors\, donors and implementing groups. Hosted by the Health Campaign Effectiveness Program of the Task Force for Global Health this series highlights innovative campaign approaches and delivery models. \n

SUMMARY:Test & Learn Session 3: Opportunities to Expand Campaign Effectiveness Measures Beyond Coverage
DESCRIPTION:With renewed emphasis on the importance of primary health care (PHC) as a means to achieve global public health goals\, health campaign actors can identify ways to assess the relative effectiveness and sustainability of different community-based platforms.  \nDr. Andreas Hasman\, Nutrition Specialist and his team at UNICEF Programme Division set out to explore which measures of effectiveness\, in addition to coverage\, would be helpful to program implementers. They conducted literature reviews\, consultations\, and quantitative analysis to identify applicable metrics for diagnostics and tracking of progress toward optimized effectiveness. Their study focuses on vitamin A supplementation (VAS)\, which is one of the largest preventive public health programs in the world that reaches almost 250 million children every year. Vitamin A supplement was chosen because it is an intervention that is delivered in a large number of countries\, using a variety of community-based platforms\, and on which significant administrative and survey data are available. However\, the study’s conclusions relating to measures of delivery effectiveness will apply to a wide range of health and nutrition interventions. \nJoin this Test & Learn session to consider the findings\, how they translate across disease domains\, and possible implications for campaign co-delivery and common campaign planning\, implementation\, and follow-up practices. Interpretation in Spanish and French will be available.  \nRegister today.  \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Andreas Hasman is a Nutrition Specialist at UNICEF USA. Previously\, Dr. Hasman worked as a Health Specialist at the UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia\, Kathmandu\, Nepal from 2014-2019.
