The document describes a District Reporting Tool (DRT) that is intended to: 1) Develop district profiles to identify bottlenecks and solutions; 2) Track implementation status of programs using dashboards; 3) Assist coordination across health areas. The DRT uses a "SEED" model of supply, demand, and enabling environment. It includes components like dashboards to monitor priorities, and tracking implementation stages of interventions from pre-implementation to institutionalization. The DRT aims to provide data to identify challenges, establish action plans, prioritize work, and monitor resources and partnerships over time to strengthen district health programs.

3. Objectives of the DRT
- To assist in developing district profiles – “Know your district” To
identify key bottlenecks
- To identify possible solutions to bottlenecks
- To identify key enablers & establish action plans across the
continuum of care process
- To track the district status of programme implementation using
dashboards
- To assist in coordination and integration of key MNCWH/ISHP
areas through partnerships
- To track or monitor implementation of the identified intervention
stages over time

12. Implementation Status
Measurement
– The overall status of the technical assistance is measured by
getting an average of the stages across the continuum of care
– The implementation stages can be summarised as follows:
Pre-implementation
Implementation
Institutionalisation
1 Create awareness
2 Commitment to implement
3 Prepare to implement
4 Implementation
5 Integration into routine practise
6 Institutionalisation
