Samasha Medical Foundation entered into an agreement with the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH) to implement a project titled ‘Translating Global Commitments into Local Action: Development of a Regional Tracker for Africa’ in four countries (Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia).The overall goal of the project is to accelerate the fulfilment of the targeted number of fundamental commitments to the updated EWEC Global Strategy and Family Planning 2020.
The aim is to support countries meet their country-specific commitments using the Motion Tracker© Framework which leverages both the expertise and resources of national partners as well as those of the International community.Specific objectives of the project are;
- Select country level partner in a new country (Nigeria) as local convener
- Conduct high intensity, tailored training of two technical personnel from the four local convening organizations from Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia.
- Facilitate and oversee interpretation, data collection and analysis of country-specific commitments.
- Support 3 stakeholder meetings in each of the four countries (Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia)
- Quarterly Update of the Regional Motion Tracker (Online visual platform)
- Conduct media outreach in each country
- Document experience in TMT© replication, commitments tracking and lessons learned
The project started in July 2018 and runs until June 2019.
