Our proposal is to scale a video-based maternal and child health (MCH) training program for frontline health workers (HW) to the West African Sub-region and extend to each country, demonstrated benefits of interactive training for frontline HWs. These benefits include addressing the urgent need for improved knowledge, skills, motivation and retention of the health workforce, especially in remote settings. Since 2014, we have conducted a proof of concept; piloted the program and now scaled it as a service for training health workers across approximately 250 Health Facilities in Nigeria with approximately 2,500 health workers enrolled. We will bring to bear our experience from successes, failures and lessons learnt during the pilot and scale up phases in Nigeria, delivering a sustainable approach to improving the delivery of healthcare in remote settings in each of the target countries. In each country on our list, we will present to the Government a dossier containing Required Skills by Cadre; Curriculum; Lists of Optional and Mandatory Content by HW Cadre and Test Questions and Answers, to adapt to their priorities and contexts. Our consortium will adapt the
content as required for each country and deploy in health facilities identified by their Ministry of Health. HWs in each country will have access to improved training and health system solutions contributing to tangible country gains towards healthier living and wellbeing of their populations and stronger national health systems. Our Theory of Change is supported by a rigorous M&E framework to allow stakeholders in each country to align on Key Performance Indices (KPIs). We will report on KPIs at agreed intervals, to demonstrate that the project is on track towards achieving desired outcomes. Our M&E framework is compliant with SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely) principles.
