E2A-STRIDES-ASSIST Partnership
- STRIDES: led by Management Sciences for Health (MSH) in Uganda to build capacity in MCH, FP-RH, nutrition, and malaria interventions in 15 districts. - Evidence to Action (E2A): USAIDs global flagship for strengthening FP and RH service delivery and scaling up best practices. - E2A-STRIDES partnership is based on applying global approaches within a local context. E2A offers short-term TA to support STRIDES to introduce, implement, synthesize, and document Improvement Collaborative results. - ASSIST is URCs quality improvement (QI) project, which collaborates with STRIDES in two saving mothers giving life districts.
Objectives of Presentation
Emphasize the importance of using the Improvement Collaborative (IC), a systematic approach for scaling up a FP/maternal and newborn health (MNH) package. Share field experience and process of integrating FP services into Essential Obstetric and Neonatal Health (EONH) services. Share QI changes, results, challenges and lessons learned from using the IC to integrate FP in immediate postpartum MNH services in Uganda.

Lessons Learned
The IC empowers teams to explore simple and locally generated solutions rather than relying on the central level. Systematic approaches for scaling up best practices accelerate the scale-up of high-quality services. The IC can be introduced at any time during program implementation.
Programs can use the IC to accelerate local capacity building, empowerment, and institutionalization.
