A LEAD TRAINING FACILITATOR

To use a recently developed Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Manual to Deliver Training to Community Oriented Resource Persons (CORPS)

1.0 Introduction to Save the Children and Statement of the Problem

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 88% of deaths from diarrhea are attributable to four issues: consumption of unsafe water; inadequate sanitation; poor personal hygiene and the lack of access to childhood immunisation as a preventive measure. In Nigerian rural communities, access to and awareness of these life-saving interventions is very low

In Lagos State, the baseline survey conducted by SCI revealed that only 53% of the population has access to safe drinking water and 35% to adequate sewer and sanitation systems. Despite the rapid population growth in the city, provision of adequate sanitation services has not been prioritized by the government, putting undue pressure on the existing systems. Furthermore, Children from poor families do not have access to life-saving prevention and treatment measures - only 43.6% of children with diarrhea are treated with Oral Rehydration Salt (ORS) and 0.8% treated with Zinc.

In view of the above, Save the Children International (SCI), Nigeria, is partnering with Reckitt Benckiser to undertake a Stop the Diarrhea programme in Shomolu LGA over the next four years. As part of implementing the WASH aspect of the programme, SCI Nigeria intends to engage a Lead-consultant to use a recently developed training manual on households’ water quality, Sanitation management and general hygiene practices to facilitate the trainings of our Community Oriented Resource Persons (CORPS).

The project also committed to build the capacity of 1,000 health care workers to provide quality health services and appropriate care to mothers and their babiesas well as increased awareness among mothers and access to quality maternal and newborn health services.

The Quality of Care project was designed and implemented by following an integrated approach; involving Ward Development Committee (WDCs), supporting target Primary Healthcare Centers as agreed with SMoHs to implement multiple advocacy strategies addressing MNH issues at their ward.. This approach was adopted to maximize local stakeholders’ involvement, contribution towards implementation of cost effective packages of proven MNH interventions along the continuum of care.

To this end Save the Children plans to present the findings of the evaluation in a dissemination workshop for major stakeholders including local government decision makers and feed into future strategy particularly as it relates to scale up of QoC approach in the 2 states and in Nigeria as a whole.

Specific Objectives

More specifically, this evaluation will explore the following key evaluation questions and develop recommendations based on the findings:

3. A comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the pilot post natal home visits using CHEWS to provide services to beneficiaries in their homes.
4. Recommend improvements for the longer-term strategies on QoC focusing on project management, achieving quality, accountability and to replicate similar approach in other states in Nigeria.
