Executive Summary

Nigeria's country workshop on strengthening results and accountability for women's and

children's health and the entire health sector held in Sheraton Hotel Abuja, 9-10 April 2013.

The main goal of the workshop was to discuss and get consensus of broad stakeholders on

the draft Country Accountability Framework for Women's and Children's Health (CAF).

Other objectives of the meeting were to discuss among key stakeholders about the context

and implications of the recommendations of the Commission on Information and

Accountability for Women's and Children's Health (CoIA), assess the current situation in

terms of progress and plans, opportunities and challenges for implementing the

recommendations, and identify priority actions and establish a shared understanding of the

work required and the roles and responsibilities of each partner to implement the roadmap.

About 80 participants attended the workshop including Directors of Family Health and

Planning Research and Statistics in the Federal Ministry of Health representing the

Honourable Minister. Other stakeholders present at the meeting included experts from the

Ministry of Health (HIS/M&E, MNCH, Health Accounts and HIV), National Bureau of

Statistics, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, National Planning

Commission, National Population Commission, leading civil society organizations,

professional associations, academia, the media, UN and other donor agencies including a

representative of the Global Fund.

The workshop had plenary presentations on the progress towards the MDGs 4 and 5,

utilization of the CAF assessment tool to prioritize information and accountability actions

and provided a forum for consensus on the Nigeria's Roadmap for Accountability for

women's and Children's health. The group sessions focused on analyses of the country

situation, and actions to bridge the identified gaps, as well as priority actions to be

implemented immediately with the catalytic funding expected from the CoIA secretariat.

There was general consensus on the need to establish two in-country mechanisms - a

Steering Committee to support the implementation of the roadmap and an Independent

Monitoring Group outside government establishment to monitor status of implementation

of priority actions identified.

1.0 Background

The UN Secretary-General's Global Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health was

launched in September 2010 to accelerate progress on MDGs 4 and 5 through innovative

and strategic actions, supported by political will and resources for greater impact. The main

goal of the strategy is to save 16 million lives by 2015 in the world’s 49 poorest countries. It

has already mobilized commitments estimated at US$ 40 billion. The United Nations

Commission on Information and Accountability for Women’s and Children’s Health (CoIA)

coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO), was set up in November 2010 to

ensure global reporting, oversight and accountability for financial resources and results in

line with the Global Strategy. The 2011 report of the Commission, "Keeping Promises,

Measuring Results" made ten far-reaching recommendations which form the basis of the 7

priority areas of focus for strengthening. They include birth and death registration,

monitoring of results, maternal death review and surveillance, strengthening use of ICT,

resource tracking, national mechanisms for reviews and accountability and advocacy/action.

WHO will report annually on the global progress in the implementation of these

recommendations to the UN Secretary General.

Nigeria is one of the 75 countries supported by WHO to assess country situation and identify

gaps in information and accountability for women and children's health through multi-

country workshops held in 2012. The Nigeria country team participated in the multi-country

workshop held in Harare, October 2012. The outcome of the meeting was a draft Country

Accountability Framework and roadmap, which formed the basis for engagement with a

wider group of in-country stakeholders.

The in-country accountability workshop was held in Sheraton Hotel Abuja, 9-10 April 2013.

About 80 participants attended the workshop including Directors of Family Health and

Planning Research and Statistics in the Federal Ministry of Health representing the

Honourable Minister. Other stakeholders present at the meeting include experts from the

Ministry of Health (HIS/M&E, MNCH, Health Accounts and HIV), National Bureau of

Statistics, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, National Planning

Commission, National Population Commission, leading civil society organizations,

professional associations, academia, the media, UN and other donor agencies including a

representative of the Global Fund.

2.0 Objectives

The main goal of the workshop was to discuss and get consensus of broad stakeholders on

the draft Country Accountability Framework for Women's and Children's Health. Other

objectives of the meeting were to

• Discuss among key stakeholders about the context and implications of the

recommendations of the Commission on Information and Accountability for

Women's and Children's Health

Page 6: REPORT OF THE NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON STRENGTHENING … › woman_child_accountability › countries › ... · children's health and the entire health sector held in Sheraton Hotel

6

• Assess the current situation in terms of progress and plans, opportunities and

challenges for implementing the recommendations, and identify priority actions

• Establish a shared understanding of the work required and the roles and

responsibilities of each partner to implement the roadmap.

3.0 Expected Outcomes

The expected outcomes of the country accountability framework workshop were:

• Increased awareness and understanding by all stakeholders of the Commission

recommendations and opportunities/challenges for country implementation; • Final draft of the accountability roadmap identifying the priority actions and

budget

• Next steps for implementation of priority actions for strengthening accountability

from 2013-2015

4.0 Opening

The workshop started with an opening ceremony chaired by the Director of the Family

Health Department, Federal Ministry of Health who represented the Permanent Secretary.

In his remarks, Dr Wapada Balami reiterated the 10 recommendations of the UN

commission on Information and accountability (CoIA) and further stressed that the meeting

has the task of finalizing and building consensus on the country road map for strengthening

information and accountability using the draft developed by the country team that

participated in the multi-country workshop in Harare September 2012.

The WHO Representative, Dr Rui Gama Vaz, in his goodwill message, started by reminding

participants about the two commissions set up to support the United Nations Secretary

General's Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health. i.e. the Commission on

Information and accountability and the Commission on Life Saving Commodities. He

congratulated the Ministry for the efforts made on implementing the recommendations of

the Commission on Life Saving Commodities so far. He enjoined the group not to come only

with a road map, but to bring out key strategies for dealing with accountability issues which

is implementable across board especially at the state level.

The Executive Secretary of the Health Reform Foundation (HERFON), Dr Muhammad Lecky,

stressed the need to have a common understanding of accountability which could be

defined as a chain of account giving encounters between individuals and entities. He

asserted that the missing link is non-existent or weak position of citizens to demand for

accountability and ensure delivery on commitments.

5.0 Technical Presentations

5.1 Progress towards MDG4 and 5 targets and country commitments to the

UN Global Strategy for Women and Children’s Health

The first technical presentation was made by Dr Ngozi Azodoh (Head/International

Cooperation and Resource Mobilization/ DPRS/FMOH) on the Progress towards MDGs 4 and

5 targets and country commitments to the UN Global Strategy for Women and Children’s

Health. She highlighted that Nigeria is making progress towards achieving the MDGs

through focused effort which was made possible through the debt relief grant. She indicated

that the Presidency had commissioned the FMOH and National Bureau of Statistics to

conduct an MDGs progress survey. The findings seem to indicate that Nigeria has made

better progress than was previously thought.

The main issues highlighted in the discussion were:

Clarification on the validity of the survey's methodology including issues of sample size

for the MDGs survey which had indicated good progress.

Use of uptake of all methods instead of modern contraceptive prevalence rate. Coverage

of modern methods is preferred for CPR calculation.

While the trend seem to show improvement in the key indicators as measured by

various surveys, there was still concern about the validity of the statistics. It is important

to ensure that the different survey findings are triangulated and to have an overall idea

of the country's current status on MDGs indicators and in relation to targets.

Accountability requires courage and individuals or entities need to develop courage to

be able to demand accountability and ask Government the right questions.

Multiple sources of data are often quoted to measure improvement in health outcomes.

It is important to have for technical sessions on integrity of data and determine the most

credible sources. Data should not be discredited for political motives.

5.2 Introduction of the Accountability Framework based on the

recommendations of the UN Commission on Information &

Accountability for Women’s and Children’s Health

The second technical presentation was made by Dag Roll-Hansen, from the WHO

headquarters, who introduced the Country Accountability Framework (CAF) based on the

recommendations of the UN Commission on Information and Accountability for Women and

Children’s health. The framework comprises seven priority areas of focus for countries

namely Civil Registration and Vital statistics (CRVS), monitoring results, maternal death

surveillance and response (MDSR), innovation and e-Health, tracking of resources, annual

reviews and advocacy/outreach. He took participants through the process of completing

the CAF and important areas for the different groups to pay particular attention to.

5.3 Country Report and Results from the Multi-Country Workshop: Process

and Results

Dr Azeez Aderemi, from the Department of Planning, Research and Statistics, FMOH made

the last presentation on the country report and results from the multi-country workshop.

He outlined the key priority actions identified by the country team to the Harare workshop.

Issues raised during the discussion include:

The importance of partnering with and strengthening CSOs to demand

accountability and for them to ask questions that partners may not be able to ask

policy makers.

There was a concern that the concept of MDSR needed to be explained better and

that this will not replace the ongoing work on Maternal Death Reviews.

It was suggested that the MDSR be expanded to include newborn deaths as well.

6.0 Group Discussions On The Draft Country Accountability

Framework

Following the introduction of the Country Accountability Framework (CAF) assessment tool

by Dag Roll-Hansen, instructions on how the groups will work to finalize the CAF were

provided. Participants worked in six groups based on their mandate and comparative

advantages and in line with the six priority areas. Discussions at the group sessions focused

on the country situation, actions to bridge the identified gaps and priority actions to be

implemented immediately with the catalytic funding expected from the CoIA secretariat.

The priority actions identified by work area were presented by the various groups during

the feedback sessions in plenary and are outlined below.

6.1 Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS)

The strengthening of the CRVS system was seen as critical for assessing the outcomes and

impact of interventions to improve women's and children's health. To support this, the

following actions were identified as priority actions.

Conduct rapid assessment of the national CRVS using adapted the WHO/HIS rapid

assessment tool and disseminate report.

Establish multi-stakeholder coordinating group to advise on CRVS- ensure

involvement of all stakeholders across sectors

Strengthen community reporting of births and deaths by expanding current pilot in 6

states to cover another 72 centres in 6 states making a total of 216 centres in 12

states.

Improve community reporting through use of Verbal Autopsy by training of more

NPoPC Registrars and other community workers

Conduct quarterly monitoring and data quality assessment visits

Page 9: REPORT OF THE NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON STRENGTHENING … › woman_child_accountability › countries › ... · children's health and the entire health sector held in Sheraton Hotel

6.2 Monitoring of results

The following actions were identified as priorities in the area of monitoring results.

Reactivate/establish RMNCH CTC in all states & Include other constituents such as

the Civil Society, academia and statisticians in the M&E committees. It was also

proposed that HMIS/M&E officers should coordinate M&E issues within the CTCs.

Production of one RMNCH M&E plan as part of the RMNCH strategy

Strengthen analytical capacity for M&E, conduct annual compilation of health

statistics from health facilities along with data quality assessment.

Improve coverage of the current HMIS tool to facilities including private facilities.

The persistent non-availability of current data collection tools in the health facilities

was highlighted as a key challenge to results monitoring. The current data from the

HMIS are not representative for Nigeria as a federation as the coverage is relatively

low, and there is no sampling plan behind the selection of which facilities are to

report. The quality of the data would substantially improve with the establishment

of a system that covers all facilities in Nigeria.

Conduct annual Services Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) starting in

2013

Improve communication between the community and health facility as a means of

strengthening community reporting.

Dissemination of results and health information in collaboration with other teams:

advocacy groups, media etc.

It was also stressed that it was important to ensure that the current HMIS tool is reflected in

the DHIS 2.0 which is the national HMIS software.

The importance of greater private sector involvement was also highlighted.

6.3 Maternal Death Surveillance and Review (MDSR)

While highlighting the need for establishing maternal death surveillance and response, the

following priority actions were identified.

Develop a national policy on MDSR

Incorporation of MDSR into the IDSR system as part of the ongoing IDSR review

Mainstream MDSR in the ongoing IMNCH strategy review

Fast track approval of the MDR guidelines and tools by HMH

Strengthen a system of maternal death reporting and response initiation by

electronic devices beyond MSS sites

Develop verbal autopsy for maternal deaths in communities in collaboration with

NPopC

Page 10: REPORT OF THE NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON STRENGTHENING … › woman_child_accountability › countries › ... · children's health and the entire health sector held in Sheraton Hotel

10

There was a debate about the most effective channel for the MDSR process to harmonize

with the ongoing Maternal Death Review process led by the Society of Obstetricians and

Gynaecologists of Nigeria (SOGON) and as a part of the IDSR system.

There was also concern on the urgent need for an MDSR policy, as some participants were of the opinion that this will strengthen the ongoing death reviews in hospitals. It was agreed that it was better to have one policy that addresses surveillance and response

to both maternal and neonatal deaths since both are linked in terms of place and time and

other determinants rather than two separate policies, as initially proposed by the group.

6.4 e-Health

The priority actions identified in the area of e-health include:

Development of a national e-Health strategy with strong government leadership and

commitment to manage the process to establish effective data sharing system at all

levels.

Assess infrastructure status for priority information systems coverage, status, and

functioning; develop action plan in line with overall national goals. This should be

done with health and ICT sector participation and in the context of a national

planning exercise.

Develop a national standard for e-health. The selection, agreement and adoption of

standards should be linked to the improvement of priority services and systems. This

foundational step should be done in the context of national e-Health planning.

Establish e-health coordination mechanism - a national steering group for e-Health,

supported by a project team with planning skills and knowledge of e-Health. Assess

which organizations or groups are active in e-Health, and their potential role in the

development of a national e-Health program.

Assess current legislation, regulation and policies for their appropriateness and

potential revision towards supporting improved e-Health environment. This should

take place in the context of a national e-Health planning process.

There was a discussion about the existing draft e-health policy by the hospital services

department of the Federal Ministry of Health. The recommendation is to liaise with the

focal point to explore how the existing draft can be improved upon by a broad stakeholders

group and finalised.

6.5 Monitoring Resources

There was a consensus that this thematic area is critical for accountability within the health

sector. The priority actions identified included:

Page 11: REPORT OF THE NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON STRENGTHENING … › woman_child_accountability › countries › ... · children's health and the entire health sector held in Sheraton Hotel

11

Capacity building of responsible officers for NHA including MOH staff at federal and

state levels and the NHA technical team on the System of Health Accounts 2011, and

in related resource tracking methodology.

Build capacity of CSOs to play a more strategic role resource tracking exercises and

in the use of the outputs for advocacy.

Create awareness among a wider group of stakeholders on the health accounting

framework and facilitate greater stakeholder buy-in for resource tracking.

Facilitate legislation towards standard reporting requirements for resources and to

ensure compliance of partners.

Create and strengthen a dedicated health financing/ NHA desk at the FMOH and

SMOHs.

The workshop participants also debated the importance and feasibility of having of health

accounts down to LGA level, not just national and state. There was emphasis on greater

involvement of the civil society; however, it is important to clearly define the role CSOs will

play. The need for all partners to sign into the national compact was stressed as

accountability cannot be assured if partners don't align with government priorities.

The challenges of obtaining expenditure information from government MDAs and even the

partners was also highlighted.

6.6 Annual Reviews

While acknowledging the progress made in instituting annual reviews in the country, there

was consensus that more needs to be done to improve the quality and scope of the review

process. In this regard, the following were identified as the priority actions:

Strengthen the data processes and the capacity to prepare analytical reports prior to

the sub-national and national annual reviews

Strengthen the use of review results for planning purposes, resource allocation and

release in the review process.

Facilitate mechanism to ensure that all partners sign the compact and advocate for

all partners including government to commit to explicit and predictable funding.

This was also emphasized by the group on monitoring of resources.

Targeted advocacy to encourage partners who have not signed the COMPACT to

commit to it and for all partners to adjust their budget accordingly.

6.7 Advocacy & Outreach

The key actions identified on advocacy and outreach include:

Work with the media to strengthen their capacity to monitor and report on the

progress of implementation of the Global Strategy and the MDGs 4 and 5

Page 12: REPORT OF THE NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON STRENGTHENING … › woman_child_accountability › countries › ... · children's health and the entire health sector held in Sheraton Hotel

12

Establish channels of engagement with the media on women's and children's health.

media

Establish / support /strengthen coalition on MNCH. Promote CSOs and government

linkages

Support capacity of the civil society to synthesize evidence and disseminate

messages and strengthen coordination among CSOs and Media.

7.0 Conclusion And Next Steps

The need to establish mechanisms to support the implementation and monitoring of the

roadmap was discussed. There was overwhelming consensus that two structures should be

set up to support this process - :

• A Steering Committee consisting of representative of major stakeholders to drive

implementation of the roadmap

• Independent Monitoring Group - made up of people of high integrity outside

government with capacity to analyse situation and report periodically on the

progress of implementation of the roadmap.

There is still a need to have further discussions on the composition and definite terms of

reference for the two bodies. However, it is thought that this group should periodically

review progress of the country in the seven priority areas of the accountability framework.

The Departments of Family Health and PRS will co-coordinate the steering

committee.

Evidence 4 Action made commitment to move the process forward by drafting TOR

for the Independent Monitoring Group and mobilizing resources for their meetings.

For continuity, the present planning committee for the workshop will continue to oversee

the roadmap process until the steering committee is inaugurated.

ANNEX 1 Workshop concept note

Concept note for a 2-day national workshop on the country

accountability framework, with special reference to Women’s and

Children’s Health

Introduction

In May 2011, the Commission on Information and Accountability for Women's and Children's Health

delivered its ten recommendations to strengthen accountability for resources and results. The

Commission's work draws on the IHP+ work on monitoring and evaluation, and endorses the

principles of national leadership and ownership of results, strengthening country capacity in

monitoring, evaluation and review, and reducing the reporting burden. Accountability has been

defined by the Commission as a cyclical process of monitoring, review and action, linking

accountability for resources to results.

Justification

A multi-stakeholder process, including a consultation in July 2011 resulted in the translation of the

recommendations into a common strategic work plan. The work-plan identifies priority areas of

focus for strengthening country accountability based on these 10 key recommendations. These

include:

1) monitoring of results 2) strengthening use of ICT 3) resource tracking 4) birth and death registration, 5) maternal death review and surveillance 6) national mechanisms for reviews and accountability 7) Advocacy/action/accountability.

Countries define priorities within these activities but may have others as well. It is generally

proposed that a four year roadmap for strengthening accountability is developed with a budget that

allows catalytic action in countries. The aim is to build on what ongoing activities, mechanisms and

processes in -country, following the IHP+ approach for harmonization and alignment.

The country team completed a self-assessment of the current situation on accountability for health

during a multi-country workshop, held in Harare, Zimbabwe 1-6 October 2012. In addition, the

teams made a start with the development of a roadmap to implement the accountability framework

according to their specific needs and priorities.

Objectives of the Workshop

1. Orient key country stakeholders about the context and implications of the recommendations of the Commission on Information and Accountability for Women's and Children's Health

2. Share and discuss the results of the assessment of the current situation on the implementation of the accountability framework

3. Finalize a country roadmap to strengthen accountability for 2013-15, building upon the initial roadmap done at the multi-country workshop.
