Do global health networks facilitate innovation, learning and sharing? A qualitative analysis of the Quality-of-Care Network in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi, and Uganda
The Quality-of-Care Network (QCN), launched by WHO and partners, links global and national actors across several countries to improve maternal and newborn health. We conducted a prospective qualitative study to examine how QCN in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda facilitated learning, sharing, and innovation within and between network countries. We conducted 227 key informant interviews with QCN actors at global, national, and facility leve…
Strengthening health research capacity for postgraduate trainees
International research partnerships are crucial to strengthening research capacity (RCS) efforts. However, little is known about how such partnerships work to enhance the capacity of postgraduate trainees. We applied an Indigenous realist evaluation (RE) approach to examine how the ‘African Research Initiative for Scientific Excellence’ (ARISE) programme works to strengthen the capacity for trainees. The Indigenous RE integrates critical and scie…
Advancing the Decolonisation Agenda Through an Indigenous Realist Evaluation Approach
Background: Evaluation theory and practice have great potential in catalysing transformative change and furthering decoloniality in [global] health research in Indigenous or formerly colonised societies. Realist evaluation approach can be a good fit for promoting decolonisation due to its strong focus on context and causal mechanisms. Methods: Drawing on the authors' work on strengthening health research capacity and using the 'African Research I…
How to evaluate a multi-country implementation-focused network
Learning about how to evaluate implementation-focused networks is important as they become more commonly used. This research evaluated the emergence, legitimacy and effectiveness of a multi-country Quality of Care Network (QCN) aiming to improve maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) outcomes. We examined the QCN global level, national and local level interfaces in four case study countries. This paper presents the evaluation team’s reflection…
How can a Realist Evaluation Adhere to the Indigenous Research Principles? An Evaluation Protocol of a Health Research Capacity Strengthening Programme
Background: There is increasing demand for culturally responsive and contextually appropriate evaluation tools that can promote transformative change in the African development space. One way to address this demand is by adapting the existing Western-based evaluation theories to ensure that they are sensitive to the African settings. This protocol describes how the realist evaluation, which is a Western-based approach, would be implemented in a m…
Individual, organizational and system circumstances, and the functioning of a multi-country implementation-focused network for maternal, newborn and child health
Better policies, investments, and programs are needed to improve the integration and quality of maternal, newborn, and child health services. Previously, partnerships and collaborations that involved multiple countries with a unified aim have been observed to yield positive results. Since 2017, the WHO and partners have hosted the Quality of Care Network [QCN], a multi-country implementation network focused on improving maternal, neonatal, and ch…
Opportunities to sustain a multi-country quality of care network
The Quality of Care Network (QCN) is a global initiative that was established in 2017 under the leadership of WHO in 11 low-and- middle income countries to improve maternal, newborn, and child health. The vision was that the Quality of Care Network would be embedded within member countries and continued beyond the initial implementation period: that the Network would be sustained. This paper investigated the experience of actions taken to sustain…
Psychological distress and social support among conflict refugees in urban, semi-rural and rural settlements in Uganda
There is a settlement-inequality (i.e. rural vs. urban) in psychological distress and social support among conflict refugees in Uganda. To address psychological distress, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services (MHPSS) should focus on strategies which strengthen the existing social networks among refugees. Variations in social support are a key predictor of distress which should guide tailored need-adapted interventions instead of duplica…
Healthworker preparedness for Covid-19 management and implementation experiences
HCWs preparedness is inadequate in some aspects. Implementation of healthcare interventions is constrained by the complexity of Uganda's health system design, top-down approach of the national response to COVID-19 and longstanding health system bottlenecks. We recommend continuous information sharing on COVID-19, a design review with capacity strengthening at all health facility levels and investing in community-facing strategies
