Motherhood Unites Us
October Monitoring & Evaluation Training
Kelley Khamphouxay, CleanBirth.org’s M&E Advisor, has just returned from a successful trip to Salavan for a Monitoring Meeting with our Lao partner, Our Village Association of Community Development.
The training was attended by: Dr Nong, Ms Noy, Ms Nouan, Mr Chiew and Mr Atoy.
The group, led by Kelley:
- Reviewed the 2014-2015 Cleanbirth Monitoring plan
- Identified of the health centers OVACD has the capacity to work with in-depth (and conduct qualitative monitoring)
- Identified villages where OVACD has the capacity to work closely with mothers & TBAs directly
- Full understanding of the scope, details, and manpower required to implement the 2014-2015 Monitoring Plan
- Translated of 4 Nurses Monitoring Interviews (Lao-English) that had been conducted by field staff
- Revision of the Nurses and Mothers Monitoring Interviews form and a new Excel file to document and submit Nurse and Mother Monitoring Interviews
- Discussed new birth kit components (extra clamp, extra sheet, gloves) and understand that they will add supplemental packs to update birth kits already in Salavan to the new standard. Feedback was given about the picture sheet and revision will be made.
- Village Volunteer/TBA discussion: role of government, feasibility of program.
Kelley reports that OVACD says that kits are being used by clinics and mothers and that the OVACD team is enthusiastic about the work. The implementation of the log frame created by CleanBirth.org and OVACD and accompanying monitoring documents has clarified CleanBirth.org’s expectations for OVACD and streamlined data collection processes.
Birth Kits Instruction Sheet New and Improved
Thanks to the help of our high school interns Jenny and Khadija we photographed the kits in action. Our nurses in Laos had asked for more realistic pictures and we were able to deliver. Every kit going forward will have these pictures in it to make it clear to moms how to give birth safely and hygienically.
First Draft of New Instructions
Thanks to canva.com I put this together myself today! Waiting for the comments of midwives and others. NOTE: This will be a 2-sided document.
