Guiding principles | Description |
---|---|
Collaboration, participation, complementarity, and coordination between the different actors | To achieve this guiding principle, participants highlighted the importance of: - Continuing coordination meetings at the field level and in Kinshasa, - Designating a focal point or champion for each major activity in the work plan, - Supporting all partners involved in the implementation of the work plan by appointing a project manager working in close collaboration with the SRH coordinator and the SRH working group already in place. |
Not reinventing the wheel | - For each activity, take stock of what already exists by mapping existing tools, instruments, and protocols, as well as work plans and projects currently implemented, - Harmonize and adapt the different tools, instruments, and protocols to the specificity of the context and activity in question. |
Programming based on scientific evidence | Given limited resources and for efficiency reasons, participants found it essential to: - Implement interventions that have proven successful in similar contexts, - Pilot new interventions but with a robust process of monitoring, evaluation, and even research where feasible. |
Equity in population coverage | The channeling of resources must focus on activities in the crisis-affected settings and, in particular, on the most affected, marginalized, and vulnerable populations. |
Fostering a community of practice | All activities implemented must be continuously monitored and evaluated in order to help the community of partners to learn, progress, and improve programs and the quality of services. |
