Intégration de la vaccination et de la planification familiale
Dans le cadre d’un élargissement géographique de l’intégration de la vaccination et de la planification du programme VIVO, CARE Niger a initié une recherche formative dans le district sanitaire de Gaya en vue de mettre en œuvre un projet de promotion des méthodes modernes de contraception dans dix(10) CSI selon des critères bien précis. L’objectif est de faire une analyse situationnelle au niveau des aires de santé et des établissements de santé communautaires afin d’identifier les obstacles structurels et socio-culturels ainsi que ceux qui sont liés au genre, qui empêchent l’accès aux services de planification familiale et de vaccination et qui pourraient constituer un obstacle à une intégration réussie de ces services.
Le constat des données de l’OMS de 2015, selon lesquelles le Niger a un taux de mortalité maternelle élevé : 553 décès maternels pour 100000 naissances vivantes dû à un taux de prévalence contraceptive les plus bas dans la région (12%). Alors que le taux de vaccination est de 68%, ont dû être des déterminants majeurs du programme VIVO au Niger.
Les données (sur le terrain) recueillies dans le district sanitaire de Gaya, serviront de base sur la mise en œuvre du projet d’élargissement géographique de l’intégration de la vaccination et de la planification. [95 pages]

Rapport de l’Evaluation des Prestataires des Centres Appuyes par CARE sur les Methods Contraceptives de Longue Duree
CARE Niger dans le cadre du projet Vivo, avait organisé en septembre et octobre 2016 une formation des prestataires des formations sanitaires d’intervention du projet. Cette formation avait porté sur la technologie contraceptive et l’intégration des services de planification familiale et de vaccination. Ainsi 21 prestataires ont acquis des connaissances et des compétences en technologie contraceptive. A la suite de cette formation, des supervisions ont été organisées par le staff clinique du projet.
La présente évaluation externe vise à apporter un autre regard et une autre appréciation des compétences transmises au cours de cette session de formation et leur utilisation dans les centres de santé. Ainsi du 09 au 16 aout 2017 a été menée une évaluation de tous les prestataires formés par le projet sur ces sites d’intervention. Elle a été menée par un (01) consultant venu du Burkina Faso et la responsable de la santé de la reproduction du district sanitaire de Gaya. [8 pages]

Enhancing Mobile Populations Access to HIV and AIDS Services Information and Support (EMPHASIS) Endline Report
CARE’s Enhancing Mobile Population’s Access to HIV/AIDS Services Information and Support program (EMPHASIS) is a 5 year program, which began in 2009, implemented in CARE Country offices in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. EMPHASIS aims to address cross-border mobility-related vulnerabilities focusing primarily on HIV and AIDS and gender programing for mobile and at-risk populations. EMPHASIS is funded by the Big Lottery Fund, UK.
The CARE EMPHASIS project team identified key project and outcome indicators to measure the success of the project. These indicators were drawn from the project log-frame; EMHPASIS specifically designed its interventions to achieve measurable progress across these indicators. The primary goal of the end-line survey activity was to collect the required data to measure the progress of these key project and outcome indicators longitudinally to the baseline data and between purposefully selected control populations at the end-line activity.

Enhancing Mobile Populations Access to HIV and AIDS Services Information and Support (EMPHASIS) Baseline
There are a growing number of people migrating between Bangladesh, Nepal and India. Mobility has long been linked with heightened vulnerability to HIV & AIDS. While overall HIV prevalence is low in Bangladesh and Nepal, there is a growing concern that vulnerable mobile populations are forming a bridge between high prevalence areas of India and low prevalence areas in Bangladesh and Nepal. Enhancing Mobile Populations’ Access to HIV & AIDS Services Information and Support (EMPHASIS) is a regional program being implemented by CARE Bangladesh, CARE India and CARE Nepal and led by CARE International UK (CIUK) to reduce AIDS related vulnerabilities among mobile populations crossing the borders of Bangladesh and Nepal into India. This 5-year (August 2009 – July 2014) program, is funded by the Big Lottery Fund (BIG) of United Kingdom. [57 pages] Read More...

Urban Health Initiative (UHI) Endline Report
The benefits of family planning go beyond the prevention of maternal and child mortality and extend to poverty alleviation, environmental sustainability and the empowerment of women. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is committed to reducing unintended pregnancy in the developing world by increasing access to high-quality, voluntary family planning services. The Urban Reproductive Health (RH) Initiative, initiated in 2009, is one component of the foundation’s strategy that targets the expansion of quality family planning services in selected urban areas of Uttar Pradesh, India; Kenya; Nigeria; and Senegal. To build scientific evidence for urban family planning efforts, the Measurement, Learning & Evaluation (MLE) Project, led by the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), in partnership with the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), conducted an impact evaluation of the country-specific Urban Health Initiative (UHI) program in Uttar Pradesh, India.

HIV/AIDS Prevention Programme III (HAPP III) in Sierra Leone
The HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (HAPP) III implemented in Sierra Leone, supports the financing of social marketing activities for condoms and the Impact Mitigation Funds (IMF) aimed at mitigating the social impact of HIV/AIDS. The project focuses on the prevention of GBV including FGC; prevention of HIV/AIDS and unplanned pregnancies as well as the empowerment of girls and women.1 The overall goal of HAPP III is to contribute to improved sexual and reproductive health of Sierra Leone. The programme was implemented from June 2013 to July 2017 and granted a no-cost extension to March 2018. This was to make up for 18 months of programme implementation time lost during the outbreak of the Ebola Viral Disease from the 24th May 2014 through 17th March 2016.
The overall purpose of the HAPP III end phase evaluation is to measure improvements in SRHR outcomes (specifically decrease of risk contact of HIV, increased use of condoms by the 15-24 year old generation, reduced stigmatization against people living with HIV and ratio of mother’s age 25-49 years who do not intend their daughters to be subjected to FGC).

‘We Pledge to Improve the Health of Our Entire Community’
Motivation is critical to health worker performance and work quality. In Bihar, India, frontline health workers provide essential health services for the state’s poorest citizens. Yet, there is a shortfall of motivated and skilled providers and a lack of coordination between two cadres of frontline health workers and their supervisors. CARE India developed an approach aimed at improving health workers’ performance by shifting work culture and strengthening teamwork and motivation. The intervention—“Team-Based Goals and Incentives”—supported health workers to work as teams towards collective goals and rewarded success with public recognition and non-financial incentives.

C-Change Endline Report: FP/HIV Integration through SBCC in Zambia
Between November 2009 and June 2011, the Academy for Educational Development (AED)1 partnered with CARE Zambia through the Communication for Social Change (C-Change) initiative to implement a project designed to explore the effects of social and behavior change communication on family planning uptake. The project aimed to increase family planning utilization and as well as address the underlying social norms that influence uptake of family planning services. The project had a particular goal of exploring the effect of these interventions on uptake of family planning among HIV-positive individuals.
The project was implemented in the Mwase Zonal Rural Health Center (Mwase RHC) catchment area in Lundazi District, Eastern Province, Zambia. Study participants included HIV-positive and HIV-negative men and women of reproductive age (18-50). Survey participants were selected from a sampling frame built from the Mwase RHC ART and VCT registers. [122 pages] Read More...
