The last two days of the Conference focused on the review of the Mother and Baby performance management structure.
Topics discussed were:
- How do we set annual targets?
- Is it the most appropriate method?
- Are we allowed to change the target setting mechanism?
- What would be the implications?
Key Takeaways
“The three days we spent together have been so interesting especially the field work. I learnt how the data I collected, verified and taken for entry. Having a health staff as a focal point person helps to strengthen collaboration.
The continued support/ funding by International office is something that is so outstanding during the conference. Sharing of different experiences and challenges has helped me learn and have more experience about the M&B project.” – Elizabeth, Project Lead, Kenya
“Well done St John Uganda for having gender balanced volunteers. All my expectations were met e.g on the issue of knowledge sharing.” – Davies Katongo, Project Manager, Zambia
“Rules and Recommendations in the success model have really helped in the improvement of the performance indicators. All implementing countries are facing almost the same challenges in the implementation of M&B programme.” – Ester Semba, Project Officer, Zimbabwe
“My peers were very instrumental in sharing the challenges and successes which play a very important role in understanding better. Quality data is crucial, and this will be achieved by recruiting the volunteers with correct skill set and those knowledgeable on their respective allocated areas.” – Thokozani Makondesa, Project Officer, Malawi
“The conference was successfully organised and executed by St John Uganda and St John International. Thank you. Quality Assurance of the project data is very paramount for achieving expected indicators. Assurance of future project funding and implementation motivated the programme team.” – Vincent Makwiti, Head of Programmes, Malawi
