1. Government policy in Nigeria has identified establishing a minimum service package (MSP) of healthcare as a priority to provide universal access through primary health care centers.
2. In response, the PRRINN-MNCH programme developed three strategic service delivery planning tools - a costing tool, HR planner tool, and service delivery planning tool - to help define the MSP, estimate resources and costs required, and assist strategic health planning.
3. These tools have been piloted in two Nigerian states and are now being used to inform funding needs, resource allocation, and ensure a coordinated strategic approach to healthcare service delivery and planning for MSPs nationwide.

1.0. Introduction:
The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a global initiative that aims at promoting transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption and encourage use of new technologies to improve governance. The OGP is overseen by a multi-stakeholder International Steering Committee comprised of Government and civil society representatives. One of the major benefits of OGP is to improve service delivery and make Governments more responsible and accountable to their citizens. Given the benefits of this initiative, Tanzania declared its intention to join OGP during the launching meeting. The decision to join OGP is an important step to complement the Government‟s ongoing efforts to strengthen good governance across all sectors. Good governance has been a critical element to enhance and sustain peace and stability, economic growth, social development and poverty reduction in Tanzania. It is on this basis, that the Government formulated the National Framework for Good Governance (NFGG) in 1999 as a guide to institute good governance in the country. The NFGG envisages a broad-based national partnership for development of good governance. Such a partnership includes Central and Local Governments, Private Sector, Faith-Based and Civil Society Organizations consistent with OGP principles. To spearhead good governance across the Government, several key and cross-cutting governance reforms are being implemented. These core reforms are; the Public Service Reform Program (PSRP), the Local Government Reform Program (LGRP), the Legal Sector Reform Program (LSRP), the Public Financial Management Reform Program (PFMRP) and the National Anti-corruption Strategy and Action Plan (NACSAP). In line with these reforms, sector specific programmes have been undertaken to improve service delivery through the implementation of Decentralization by Devolution (D-by-D). These programmes constitute the policy and strategic framework for enhancing accountability, transparency and integrity in the use of public resources in order to improve service delivery.
The Government has also established and continues to strengthen, empower and improve performance of institutions dealing with issues of good governance, integrity and combating corruption. These include the Ethics Secretariat the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau and the Commission for Human Rights and Good Governance. Other accountability institutions include the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority, the National Audit Office and the Parliamentary Watchdog Committees. In addition to this, Tanzania has enacted laws that require leaders and senior public officials to disclose their incomes and assets to the Ethics Secretariat as a measure to instill integrity in public life.

FLUPA UX-Days 2016 - "Quand les militaires se prennent au jeu du Design Sprin...Flupa
La problématique : les militaires appelés à partir en OPération EXtérieure doivent accomplir une série de tâches administratives précédant leur départ. Ces parcours et leur relation avec les différents services s’avèrent très complexes et irritants dans un contexte déjà stressant. Les personnes touchées par cette problématique étant nombreuses, il a été décidé d’organiser un Design Sprint d’une semaine afin de réunir toutes les parties prenantes, et en particulier les militaires issus des 3 armées afin de les faire participer à la conception de leur futur outil, un portail web. Notre rôle en tant que designers (4 UX designers + 1 directeur artistique) a été d’animer les différents ateliers de conception, de revoir les parcours utilisateurs avec les militaires et de construire progressivement un prototype sous la forme de wireframes et de maquettes graphiques.
Les semaines qui ont suivi ce Design Sprint ont permis d’aboutir à un prototype plus détaillé, la réalisation de l’ensemble des wireframes et d’une planche de composants graphiques qui ont servi de base aux premiers développements.
Ce que nous souhaitons illustrer à travers ce retour d’expérience :
– le processus d’un Design Sprint
– l’approche collaborative avec les utilisateurs et plus largement l’ensemble des parties prenantes (commanditaire, utilisateurs, consultants, designers)
– l’expérience humaine : la rencontre des militaires et des designers, coupés du monde sur une base de défense pendant 5 jours.

Lessons from pfm in the health sector finalHFG Project
Over the past five years, the Health Finance and Governance (HFG) project has supported over 35 countries and programs in their efforts to strengthen public financial management (PFM) systems. Activities have been tailored to address key priorities within a health system context, and have ranged from improving financial data systems to conducting costing exercises, financial analyses, and capacity-building workshops. Across these activities, several lessons have emerged.
Insights in this brief stem from analysis of over 200 HFG financing activities; interviews with stakeholders from Ukraine and Vietnam; and experience from cross-cutting program activities. These lessons are shared as a resource for fellow implementing partners, country practitioners, and donor agencies. As the project ends, this brief considers the global context and established frameworks for PFM alongside the contributions of the HFG experience, and suggests a way forward.

Summary 1 0f 8 GovernanceandSystems
The challenge: MSP as a
priority
The primary health care (PHC) system
should provide universal access to
a minimum service package (MSP).
Federal policy documents describe MSP
as “a priority set of health interventions
which should be provided in PHC centres
on a daily basis, at all times and at little
or no cost to clients, through government
financing mechanisms”.
However, the PHC system is fragmented
and managed by multiple different
entities. There is no overall service
delivery planning framework and
facilities are built and serviced
according to political and community
imperatives.
The development of the strategic service
delivery planning tools was driven by
two key issues:
■■ Government policies on MSPs
■■ The political imperative to provide
free MNCH services at the point of
delivery – many state governors across
Nigeria have declared free MNCH
services
The response: tools to cost
each MSP
PRRINN-MNCH piloted strategic service
delivery planning tools, based on an
MSP costing model, with NPHCDA
(National PHC Development Agency).
The tools assist policy makers and
health managers to create a ‘cut to fit’
PHC package of care they can afford.
The three tools define the minimum
service package, the types of facilities,
the appropriate skills mix and staff
models as well as the facility equipment,
infrastructure requirements and
sustainable drug supply needs for the
different levels.
These are then costed and used to
determine the gap analysis. This
forms the basis for an adjustable
service delivery plan and the gap can
be used to drive an investment plan
using resources from government and
development partners.
Essentially, the service delivery
planning tools allow planners, policy
makers and managers to determine
the range of health services that will
be delivered within their jurisdiction
and the resources needed to make this
happen.
Three tools were developed:
■■ Costing tool
■■ HR planner tool
■■ Service delivery planning tool
Over three years, activities ensured that:
States were aware of the need to
classify facilities according to federal
guidelines, determine the services
to be delivered and the resources
(human, infrastructure/equipment,
drug/commodity and financial) needed.
A costing model tool and HR planner
tool were developed to cost the MSP,
allowing for different outcomes to
satisfy local resources and political
requirements.
The MSP tools were linked to service
delivery planning via the service
delivery planning tool.
Minimum service packages
institutionalising strategic service delivery planning
Key messages: Planning for the delivery of MSPs needs to
become standardised and routine to be most effective.
1 Government policy has identified the minimum service package
(MSP) of healthcare as a priority.
2 Three tools were developed to cost each MSP: the costing tool, the
HR planner tool and the service delivery planning tool.
3 These tools are now being used to make informed decisions about
the provision of, and strategic planning for, healthcare.

The PRRINN-MNCH programme is funded and supported by UK aid
from the UK Government and the State Department of the Norwegian
Government. The programme is managed by a consortium of Health
Partners International, Save the Children and GRID Consulting, Nigeria.
The tools were used to identify
funding gaps so that states could
approach funders for additional
resources (eg GAVI, MDG Fund,
SURE-P).1
In the PRRINN-MNCH-supported states
the focus has been on building a better
understanding of the key processes of
the MSP and strengthening the capacity
of state governments to use the MSP
tools. It’s also been essential to build
political understanding of the strategic
service delivery planning tools to
strengthen ownership and capacity at
federal level to support the process.

The results: MSP planning
is working
Over the last three years:
■■ Strategic service delivery planning
tools have been piloted in two states
(Zamfara and Yobe)
■■ Zamfara and Yobe have agreed
the classification of facilities and the
services and resources needed at
different levels
■■ Manuals and tools have been shared
with the NPHCDA, other states and
development partners
■■ Some states have used the strategic
service delivery planning tools to
identify gaps and channel resources
■■ Two sets of workshops have been
held with federal level structures and
state-level structures to introduce the
strategic service delivery planning tools
Fig 1: Examples of the tools
The costing model tool and HR planner tool provide an invaluable framework for
calculating the cost of each MSP.
Policy implications
Critical policy choices are sometimes
made (eg free MNCH services) without
fully realising the implications. The
strategic service delivery planning
tools allow for financial implications
to be calculated so policy decisions
can be informed by reliable data. In
addition, the tools can model different
scenarios and allow policy makers
and administrators to more effectively
manage the health service through
realistic health service planning.
Conclusion
The interest shown by NPHCDA and
states other than those supported by
PRRINN-MNCH, highlights the need
for the strategic service planning
tools and the important use to which
they can be put.
