MCHW Job Aid on ‘How to Manage Third Stage Labor” and “a Guideline”

The Nepal Family Health Program (NFHP-I) was a six-year (2002-2007) bilateral activity of United States Agency for International Development, Nepal (USAID/N) with the Government of Nepal. Its overall goal was to support the Government’s long-term goal of reducing fertility and under-five mortality within the context of the National Health Policy and Second Long-Term Health Plan 1997-2017.

Under the Safe Motherhood Program activity of NFHP, JHU/CCP team provided assistance to National Health Training Center (NHTC) in developing a MCHW job aide on ‘How to manage the third stage labor’ which was pilot tested in 26 districts through key stakeholders. Based on the finding, it was further revised, a guideline was also developed on how to use the job aide effectively and disseminated to the Refresher trained MCHWs to support their utilization of the job aid for active management of third stage labor. The job aid was integrated by National Health Training Center (NHTC) into the refresher training for MCHWs.

Malawi – Moyo ndi Mpamba Campaign Community Health Worker Flipchart

This Community Health Worker Flipchart is an integrated SBCC support material that contains cue cards and corresponding content on SSDI-Communication’s six focal health areas that aligned with the messages included in the Family Health Booklet. The flipchart is simple and easy to use, even for low-literate audiences. SSDI-Communication developed flipchart in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health for SSDI-Services and Ministry of Health community volunteers to use as a reference during community and household outreach activities.

Over 12,000 Community Health Worker Flipcharts reached communities in Malawi in 13 districts. SSDI-Communication oriented over 8,000 community health workers and volunteers on how to use it to support families to adopt healthy behaviors. Anecdotal reports indicate that the Flipchart has filled a gap in basic health information at a literacy level appropriate for audiences in rural areas.

SSDI-Communication supported the Ministry of Health in realizing its ambitious health promotion agenda by developing and running a multimedia, multi-level Moyo ndi Mpamba, Usamalireni (“Life is precious, take care of it”) campaign, from 2011-2016. The ultimate goal of this campaign was to promote positive health behaviors and create demand for available services across six focus health areas – HIV & AIDS; family planning; nutrition; maternal, neonatal and child health; malaria; and water, sanitation and hygiene – and with audiences across the socio-ecological landscape and all targeted life stages.

GO Cards

The Nigeria Urban Reproductive Health Initiative is designed to increase contraceptives use in selected urban sites in Nigeria (FCT, Kaduna, Ilorin, Ibadan, Zaria and Benin) with a focus on the urban poor. . The social mobilizers, members of the “Get it Together Crew,” refer clients to Family Planning Provider Network (FFPN) providers through the use of “GO cards.” When encountering women who are interested in obtaining more information about family planning or who would like to begin using a method, mobilizers hand over “GO cards” for appointments. The “GO card” is designed so that NURHI can track referrals across sites.

In 2012 a midterm evaluation (Measurement, Learning & Evaluation of the Urban Health Initiative: Nigeria 2012 Midterm Survey) showed considerable improvements in Family Planning knowledge and behavior across the four Nigerian cities. The evaluation showed increases in the knowledge of family planning methods from baseline to midterm across all cities for both men and women. More than 98 percent of men and women have correct knowledge (spontaneous or probed) of at least one family planning method at midterm. The largest increases were observed in Kaduna — a 23 percentage-point increase for women and a 19 percentage-point increase for men.
