Reach Every District (RED)/Reach Every Community (REC) Strategy Evaluation Pakistan (2014-18)
Overview
The Reaching Every District/Community (RED/REC) Strategy was launched in African countries by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and other partners in the GAVI Alliance in 2002 – after its success, the strategy was introduced to Pakistan in 2010. It is designed to improve and strengthen immunization systems in areas with low coverage through application of five operational strategies, including (1) re-establishing health outreach service delivery, (2) supportive supervision, (3) linking services with communities, (4) monitoring and use of data for action, and (5) planning and management of resources. Nearly a decade later, the time has come to conduct an in-depth evaluation of progress made and lessons to be learned.
The specific objectives were:
• To assess the extent to which RED/REC strategy was implemented in the identified districts
• To assess the extent to which the RED/REC strategy achieved its stated objectives
• To assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the five pillars of the RED/REC strategy, i.e. reestablishment of regular outreach services; supportive supervision; linking community with service delivery, monitoring and use of gender-disaggregated data for action; planning and management of human and financial resources
• To determine how well gender, equity, human rights and DRR were taken into consideration
• To determine to what extent the strategy reached the most vulnerable people and communities
• To identify lessons learned and develop a set of recommendations
The third-party evaluator, adopted a representative sample size, i.e. at approximately 20% of the intervention districts – thereby selecting 12 districts for evaluation. These 12 were selected to assess the extent immunization coverage and level of improvement in performance after introduction of RED/REC Strategy. A formative evaluation, using mixed method design was conducted, primarily employing qualitative techniques and supported by the collection of quantitative data.
