  1. Welcome to Freedonia Bringing the Real World of Health Care Planning to Life through Scenario-based Learning and Assessment Lorraine Dardis, ICH, UCL 23 Feb 2012

  2. MSc ModuleHealth District Management:Planning and Programme Design Learning that transports participants in London to the Semisand District of Freedonia

  3. NB: An Example of Global Cooperation in Learning • Developed by the Australian Centre for International and Tropical Health and Nutrition, (CITHN) University of Queensland • 1998 - 2000 “joined mutual improvement” by CITHN and the Swiss Public Health and Tropical Institute, (SPHTI) Basel, then run independently by SPHTI • Run at UCL Centre for International Health and Development (CIHD) in 2007 jointly with SPHTI, then independently at CIHD in 2008

  4. Course Rationale and Overview • Why? Expertise in management of health programmes increasingly important • How? Through facilitated scenario-based learning, participants learn key programme design concepts and develop insights and knowledge applicable in the field • What? Plan a district-level health programme in a simulated country, using a logical framework approach.

  5. What Participants Set Out to Accomplish Design a health programme and write a project proposal to assist the Semisand District of The Republic of Freedonia to • reduce, eliminate, eradicate or address a specific health problem and associated morbidity & mortality • improve the health of the population of the district

  6. The Team Scenario • Specialist roles in a team of 6 national and international experts who have been recruited to make a brief visit to Semisand to assist in the design of a project • The IDAA (funder) has committed 2 weeks funding for the design mission • Up to $ 2,350,000 over 5 years may be available for the project itself

  7. Participants’ Specialist Roles in Health Project Design Team

  8. Underlying Principles By working in a team • Apply inter-professional • teamwork, key in public health • and management practice • Approach problems holistically in order to achieve • a broader and more complete design with the limited time and resources available

  9. Underlying Principles By taking a specialist role in team and using new “lenses” • See things in different ways • Learn others’ perspectives • Broaden one’s knowledge and skills base By applying a strategic health management tool • Practice real-life tools and acquire transferable professional skills

  10. Individual Assessment: Situation Analysis from Specialist Role Perspective • Written evaluation of: • Political and economic environment • Social environment and the community • Health status and trends • The health system • Freedonia Health Policy • IDAA (donor) Guiding Principles • Guiding Principles of proposed approach

  11. Learning Objectives for Situation Analysis Assessment • Appraise the importance of situation analysis in planning health programmes • Analyze the Freedonia / Semisand situation according the specialist role taken • Identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) from the given situation • Write up the situation analysis according to provided framework

  12. Group Assessment: Presentation to Funding Body and National/District Leaders • 15-20 minute oral presentation on • Situation analysis • Rationale and Approach • Project description • Expected benefits • Management and Financing • Monitoring and Evaluation • Assumptions, risks, feasibility, sustainability

  13. Group Assessment: Written Project Proposal • Project Proposal: 18,000-20,000 words, including Annexes • Main text: 9 - 10,000 words • Annexes: Logframe Matrix; Activity log; Budget; Timelines; Job descriptions; Project Organogram

  14. Group Project Learning Objectives • Define target population & formulate project objectives in context of national development goals and international “good practices” • Define outputs (results) that will enable satisfactory achievement of objectives • Identify verifiable/performance indicators which will identify performance in terms of output and objectives

  15. Group Project Learning Objectives • Outline strategies and indicate activities required to produce proposed outputs • Determine inputs necessary for completing proposed activities (staff, supplies, equipment, financial means, etc.) • Identify most significant assumptions and risks underlying implementation of proposed activities at each level • Prepare complete project proposal • Present and defend design and rationale

  16. Thank you for visiting Freedonia
