1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES

This activity is related to activities in strategic information.

2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

This activity has two main components. The first component will be the carrying out of 2009 Kenya Service

Provision Assessment. This activity will jointly be funded by 5 program areas (PMTCT, CT, Care and

Support, Systems Strengthening and Strategic Information. SI funding ($450,000) will cover technical

assistance including questionnaire adaptation, sampling and data processing, training, report writing, hiring

of data dissemination specialist, editorial support and travels; while contributions from other program areas

($750,000) will cover local costs such as interviewer training and supervision, data collection and analysis,

local consultants, accounting firm, printing final reports, and other dissemination products. UNICEF and

DFID will be approached to provide additional funding to the tune of $500,000 to support local costs. The

second component ($150,000) will support the development of a 5-day curriculum, introducing the KDHS to

graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Nairobi, and other public health programmers,

planners and researchers. Targeted audience will be taken through a process of capacity building in further

analysis of DHS data, data presentation and communication skills for policy makers. Overall, 2009 KSPA

will help USG Kenya team to monitor changes over time in terms of the quality of services being provided to

clients and build capacity of Kenyans on the KSPA survey methodology.

3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM

This activity will provide technical assistance to 4 local organizations and community based structures in

strategic information in addition to supporting the training of 100 public health programmers, planners,

researchers and others like M&E/HMIS Officers, and program managers in health facility assessment

methodology and other SI related topics.

4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

This activity is related to the strategic information activity to be carried out by NASCOP, where NASCOP will

be rolling out Form 711 and program specific client registers for data collection and reporting at health

facilities. It is also related to Macro International/APHIA II Evaluation that will attempt to investigate the

causes for low reporting rate by health facilities and recommend strategies for achieving 100% reporting

level by health facilities. It is related to strategic information activity to be carried out SCI Koimburi/USAID

National M&E Support Program which will support the development of data management infrastructure and

supportive field supervision of COBPAR activities by the M&E Coordinator. It is also related to the Strategic

Information activities implemented by KDOD, APHIA II projects and CDC/KEMRI.

5. SECONDARY CROSS-CUTTING BUDGET ATTRIBUTIONS

This activity supports key cross-cutting attributions in human capacity development through training of GOK

and USG personnel in KSPA survey methodology, data processing including analysis, interpretation, report

writing and different information dissemination strategies at national and regional levels.

6. EMPHASIS AREAS

The emphasis area for this activity will be health-related wrap around programs. KSPA will provide national

and sub-national information on the availability and quality of services on child health, family planning,

maternal health (antenatal and delivery care), STIs, TB and HIV/AIDS. The findings will help in identifying

areas that require immediate remedy in all service delivery areas if the health sector were to continue

offering quality health services to clients.
