High level quality care can be offered in the remotest areas and thanks to HIV and AIDS services that have re-enforced the health system that decentralization supports strongly at the onset Joint planning and field visit including all partners is a way to accelerate harmonization thus supporting to improve care offered Standardizing data collection forms is key to the national program Training & supervising stakeholder in reporting results is key at improving the planning process Decentralize monitoring to district level Ownership of social programs by local authorities Lessons Learned
limited knowledge of planning, management & monitoring of activities & funds for small NGOS insufficient attention to key areas (OVCS, HBC) shortages of personnel, high turnover & lack of incentives time consuming in monitoring and implementation of activities problems to be addressed
conclusion • The philosophy of the MAP project was a very useful innovation for the country and has served as the step stone for the replication of the services country wide. • Strong government coordination in the spirit of the 3 ones, and zero tolerance for corruption has fuelled this success
