Rationale<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Work package 5 has two components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Assessing and improving implementation of MPDSR recommendations<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Developing a model for assessing the cost-effectiveness of MPDSR<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Insufficient implementation of recommendations from MPDSR is a major reason for lack of impact. Reasons include absence of a system for monitoring implementation and MPDSR from health budgeting, and so there is a lack of resources to implement recommendations.

A process-monitoring tool developed by the US Agency for International Development\u2019s Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP), can be used to evaluate MPDSR implementation at subnational and facility level. The tool is based on pre-selected tangible factors identified for implementation, such as demonstration of practice through meeting minutes and examples of actions being taken forward from the review process.

 In addition to this process-monitoring tool, we will apply tools that monitor death notifications and completion of MPDSR process through self-reporting by staff at facilities to subnational level. These tools include aspects of related budget or expenditure for MPDSR but are not sufficient to assess cost-effectiveness or to enable effective budgeting for MPDSR.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
