Overview
The overarching goals of the “Accelerating Policy Change, Translation and Implementation for Pneumonia and Diarrhea Commodities in Pakistan” program, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), was to ensure that relevant national policies are in place, understood, and adhered to in order to ensure availability of the essential commodities for improving management of childhood diarrhea and pneumonia and increasing child survival by the end of 2021. The primary outcomes to be achieved through the program included the following:
● Outcome 1: Policy Change - Existing national/provincial policies and guidelines are updated in line with global recommendations (WHO/GAPPD) for management of diarrhea and pneumonia among under five children in Pakistan by the end of 2021.
● Outcome 2: Policy Translation - Translation of revised and updated pneumonia and diarrhea treatment guidelines into relevant action plans by all provincial/areas health departments in Pakistan by the end of 2021.
● Outcome 3: Policy Implementation - Availability of essential commodities (amoxicillin DT, zinc DT, co-packaged ORS and zinc, oxygen, ARI timers, and pulse oximeters) for treatment of childhood pneumonia and diarrhea in Pakistan by the end of 2021.
● Outcome 4: Knowledge Management - Translation of lessons learned from this investment to other settings/broader geographical areas within Pakistan.
This evaluation aims document the overall progress and lessons learned from the project that will be used in improving health programming in accordance with the National Health Vision, and Universal Health Coverage Basic Package (UHC BP) strategic focus, as well as support in laying out an exit strategy for future programming. The evidences will also help in scaling up to other geographical areas and settings in Pakistan.
