Background

The Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) is a global Cooperative Agreement funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) aimed at introducing and supporting high-impact health interventions. This global program focuses on 24 high-priority countries, including Nigeria, with the ultimate goal of ending preventable maternal and child deaths within a generation. MCSP country programs strive to ensure that all women, newborns, and children have equitable access to quality health care services that save lives. Awarded in spring 2014, MCSP supports programming in maternal, newborn and child health, immunization, family planning and reproductive health, nutrition, health systems strengthening, water/sanitation/hygiene, malaria, prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and paediatric HIV care and treatment. The program engages governments, policymakers, private sector leaders, health care providers, civil society, faith-based organizations and communities in addressing the major causes of maternal, newborn and child mortality and improving the quality of health services from household to hospital. Health systems strengthening, household and community mobilization, gender integration and eHealth are crosscutting themes and areas of the program’s work. In Nigeria, and in close partnership with the Bauchi and Sokoto State Governments and public and private partners, USAID’s MCSP has launched a technical assistance initiative aimed at strengthening the routine immunization (RI) system to increase and sustain RI coverage and reduce childhood illness and death. USAID’s MCSP will bring new thinking and a prioritized approach to support state commitment to significantly and sustainably increase coverage.

In these two States, USAID has partnered specifically through an MOU with the State Governments, Dangote Foudation and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) to strengthen Routine Immunization system and improve coverage of immunized children.

The use of mobile technology to support health projects and outcomes, including the processes and programmatic aspects that accompany the technology, is what is known as mHealth. Mobile technology can include such devices as mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants (PDAs). As a market with rising mobile penetration, Nigeria has the opportunity to leverage mobile technology to generate improved health outcomes. By March 2016, the total number of active mobile lines had risen to 148,745,464. Nevertheless, eHealth and mHealth interventions are yet to leverage the scale of mobile penetration in the Nigerian population to make the type of progress that is commensurate to the present challenge in immunization coverage.


WeMUNIZE

WeMUNIZE is a mHealth service that uses robocalls and SMS to influence, remind and persuade mothers, caregivers and their relatives to take children for immunization sessions. WeMUNIZE uses voice recordings of influential personalities and/or religious leaders in local languages to deliver immunization, ‘call-to-action’ messages to mothers and their family members in a timely manner.

Black Swan Tech Ltd was subcontracted by MCSP to deploy WeMUNIZE mHealth service that performs three functions:

1. Scheduling and sending reminders for immunization due
2. Client education and behaviour change communication (BCC)
3. Real-time indicator reporting and generation of data to support policy making

Through demand generation and effective behavioural change communication (BCC), WeMUNIZE targets a reduction in high left out rates and dropout rates.

WeMUNIZE

WeMUNIZE is a mHealth service that uses robocalls and SMS to influence, remind and persuade mothers, caregivers and their relatives to take children for immunization sessions. WeMUNIZE uses voice recordings of influential personalities and/or religious leaders in local languages to deliver immunization, ‘call-to-action’ messages to mothers and their family members in a timely manner.

Black Swan Tech Ltd was subcontracted by MCSP to deploy WeMUNIZE mHealth service that performs three functions:

1. Scheduling and sending reminders for immunization due
2. Client education and behaviour change communication (BCC)
3. Real-time indicator reporting and generation of data to support policy making

Through demand generation and effective behavioural change communication (BCC), WeMUNIZE targets a reduction in high left out rates and dropout rates.

Background

The Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) is a global Cooperative Agreement funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) aimed at introducing and supporting high-impact health interventions. This global program focuses on 24 high-priority countries, including Nigeria, with the ultimate goal of ending preventable maternal and child deaths within a generation. MCSP country programs strive to ensure that all women, newborns, and children have equitable access to quality health care services that save lives. Awarded in spring 2014, MCSP supports programming in maternal, newborn and child health, immunization, family planning and reproductive health, nutrition, health systems strengthening, water/sanitation/hygiene, malaria, prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and paediatric HIV care and treatment. The program engages governments, policymakers, private sector leaders, health care providers, civil society, faith-based organizations and communities in addressing the major causes of maternal, newborn and child mortality and improving the quality of health services from household to hospital. Health systems strengthening, household and community mobilization, gender integration and eHealth are crosscutting themes and areas of the program’s work. In Nigeria, and in close partnership with the Bauchi and Sokoto State Governments and public and private partners, USAID’s MCSP has launched a technical assistance initiative aimed at strengthening the routine immunization (RI) system to increase and sustain RI coverage and reduce childhood illness and death. USAID’s MCSP will bring new thinking and a prioritized approach to support state commitment to significantly and sustainably increase coverage.

In these two States, USAID has partnered specifically through an MOU with the State Governments, Dangote Foudation and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) to strengthen Routine Immunization system and improve coverage of immunized children.

The use of mobile technology to support health projects and outcomes, including the processes and programmatic aspects that accompany the technology, is what is known as mHealth. Mobile technology can include such devices as mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants (PDAs). As a market with rising mobile penetration, Nigeria has the opportunity to leverage mobile technology to generate improved health outcomes. By March 2016, the total number of active mobile lines had risen to 148,745,464. Nevertheless, eHealth and mHealth interventions are yet to leverage the scale of mobile penetration in the Nigerian population to make the type of progress that is commensurate to the present challenge in immunization coverage.

There has been widespread speculation that the incoming administration will implement the Oronsaye Report, which is projected, if implemented will save Nigeria billions of Naira.

I wonder why the outgoing administration didn’t implement the forensic 660-page document!

The Report can be downloaded from http://agora.nigeriagovernance.org/2015/04/oronsaye-report/

What are the criteria for the high pricing of BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9981?

A pastor of a church told his congregation that the men should give an offering to the Lord according to their wife's beauty.
The 1st man came and dropped #1,000,000
The 2nd man gave #200,000
The 3rd man gave #20; the pastor was so mad at the 3rd man that he asked him if he thought giving to God was a joke.
The man then called out his wife for the pastor. On seeing her the pastor apologized and gave the man back #10 as change.

How do you think that someone that didn't survive a wrestling would have survived a fight. They wouldn't have made it to that stage.

Just do more work on your current affairs, most especially those that relates to Nigeria security.
