Strengthening Health Services in Current and Potential Conflict-Impacted Areas Project
MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT
August 2002
For easier reference, the Strengthening Health Services in Current and Potential Conflict-Impacted Areas Project will be referred to as the JSI-DFID Project.
General
A meeting 9 August was held at the NFHP office amongst newly hired JSI-DFID Project staff and NFHP Logistics and Training staff. The how and why of this one-year project was reviewed. Discussions followed on how to implement.
It was decided the JSI-DFID Project would divide activities into Central, Regional and District levels. The immediate activity would be to conduct a needs assessment in 6 districts (Bardiya, Doti, Gorkha, Myagdi, Panchthar and Solukhumbu). In addition NFHP partner, NTAG, agreed to conduct the assessment in Rukum, Jajarkot and Rolpa Districts during its vitamin A program activities.
By 19 August a data-gathering instrument was developed and finalized for assessment at the district and health facility levels. The two JSI-DFID Program Offices left Kathmandu on 29 August to begin data gathering in the 6 districts.
