2. Service Delivery Gaps
Many areas of the country
have low service access to
MCH and other services due to
a range of management,
infrastructure, logistics and
security barriers.
Program Coordination Gaps
Lack of organizational capacity,
guidelines and strategic
framework on how to coordinate
immunization, nutrition,
environmental health and RH
services is leading to
fragmentation and inefficiencies
in health service delivery
Human Resource Gaps
There is lack of clarity in the
roles and functions of basic
health staff, and inequities in the
distribution of staff, resulting in
lack of access to health services
in hard to reach areas.
HSS Goal: Achieve improved service delivery of essential components of Immunization, MCH, Nutrition,
Environmental Health by strengthening programme coordination, sub-national micro-planning, and human
resources management and development in support of MDG goal 2/3 reduction in under 5 child mortality
between 1990 and 2015.
Theme 1 Service Delivery
Reaching communities with

access to essential components of MCH-EPI and
HSS as measured by increased DPT from 70% to
90% and SBA from 67.5% to 80%

Health system analysis examines gaps in operations
across health programmes and service delivery units
Making the transition from “management by project”
to “management through systems” is a critical step
in achieving:
◦
Equity: in distribution
◦
Efficiency through coordination and reduction of overlap of
resources in favour of hard to reach areas
◦
Effectiveness: improved health coverage
◦
Sustainability: strengthening self reliance and management
capacity
