Health system strengthening using a Maximizing Engagement for Readiness and Impact (Meri) Approach
Introduction Health system strengthening initiatives in low and middle-income countries are commonly hampered by limited implementation readiness. The Maximizing Engagement for Readiness and Impact (MERI) Approach uses a system “readiness” theory of change to address implementation obstacles. MERI is documented based on field experiences, incorporating best practices, and lessons learned from two decades of maternal, newborn, and child health (MN…
Evaluation of a comprehensive maternal newborn health intervention in rural Tanzania

Scalable, integrated, and comprehensive interventions addressing demand and service-side care-seeking barriers are needed. OBJECTIVE: Assess coverage survey indicators before and after a comprehensive maternal newborn health (MNH) intervention in Misungwi District, Tanzania. METHODS: A prospect…
Five-year retention of volunteer community health workers in rural Uganda
Community health workers (CHWs) effectively improve maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) outcomes in low-to-middle-income countries. However, CHW retention remains a challenge. This retrospective registry analysis evaluated medium-term retention of volunteer CHWs in two rural Ugandan districts, trained during a district-wide MNCH initiative. From 2012 to 2014, the Healthy Child Uganda partnership facilitated district-led CHW programme scale-…

It comprised three data collection components: eight focus groups with 50 women, 24 individual in-depth interviews with family planning service providers and …
Consumer Perspectives on a Pericoital Contraceptive Pill in India and Uganda
CONTEXT: Studies suggest that women in some countries have adopted emergency contraceptive pills as a routine method of family planning. This practice indicates there may be latent demand for a pericoital contraceptive pill taken only when a woman has sexual intercourse, and labeled and marketed for use as a regular contraceptive method. METHODS: To understand the appeal and potential market for a pericoital contraceptive pill, 39 focus groups an…
Stakeholder and Provider Views Regarding Pericoital Contraceptive Pills in India and Uganda
The development of pericoital contraceptive pills is under consideration to address unmet need for family planning, especially among women who have infrequent sexual intercourse. Pericoital pills, an oral contraceptive taken 24 hours before or after intercourse, would be a potentially desirable contraceptive option because it could provide convenience, discretion, and female control over contraceptive use. To gauge receptivity to pericoital contr…
