UNICEF through its project “Boosting Routine Immunisation Demand Generation (BRIDGE)” have been trying to build the capacities of the Frontline Line Workers who are a bridge between health delivery system and the community. For this, they have developed the Interpersonal Communication (IPC) module for the frontline workers (FLWs) to leverage SBCC for routine immunisation. The focus of the programme was to improve the interpersonal communication skills of FLWs thereby leading to improvement in the generation of demand.
We have been engaged to do a quasi-experimental design which was used for this evaluation using case-matching technique, the data will be generated to maximise learning within the limited resources and availability of data while considering different contextual factors. The evaluation utilised a mixed-method approach and was guided by the OECD – DAC evaluation criteria of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability while considering equity, gender equality and human rights as a cross-cutting theme across the programme design and delivery. The evaluation will be done at the planning and implementation level, and at the service delivery level.
