| Abstract | ||||
| Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of Population and Health Programs (P&HP) at district levels requires a holistic approach and tight collaboration between policy makers, implementing bodies and M&E agencies. There is noted need for a management informational model that triggers areas where implementing agencies need to directly intervene, improving effectiveness of P&HP. Objectives: To assess impact of communicating Districts’ key performance indicators (KPIs) of P&HP in an innovative management infograph model to decision and policy making Governorate Regional Population Council (GRPC). Method: An intervention Pre-test (2014) Post-test (2016) population-based study design was used. Study was conducted in Ismailia Governorate (IG) and National Population Council Head Quarter (NPC-HQ). The study was component of UN Population Fund project activities in NPC. Data was managed to have 26 indicators for eight categories. Deviation Scores (DS) from governorate level were estimated for seven IG districts and composite indices (CI) were presented in one info-graph to GRPC in 2015 to take actions and in 2017 to investigate impact of the actions taken. Results: Crude Birth Rate (CBR) decreased from 34/1000 in 2014, to 31/1000 in 2016. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) decreased from 11/1000 live births in 2014, to 7/1000 in 2016. Members of GRPC noted that during the period 2015- 2016, extensive family planning campaigns through mobile clinics were particularly well distributed and placed, and particularly helped in increasing Contraceptive Coverage Rate (CCR) from 33% to 64%. Conclusion: Communicating the info-graph management model of Districts’ P&HP KPIs to GRPC has resulted in more accurate interventions and improved effectiveness of programs. | ||||
