Programme implementation support
Programme implementation support
Overview
We unlock value and maximise impact in health delivery across Africa by addressing technical health systems challenges in programme implementation. We do this by providing technical assistance, capacity development and harness knowledge management & learning.
Through our service offerings, we aim to achieve the following objectives:
- Equip institutions with the insights, tools and methodologies needed to boost their capacity to effectively deliver sustainable health programmes
- Identify and address root causes and underlying system behaviours that negatively impact programme implementation
- Build the competencies of programme and policy stakeholders to implement and adapt best practices and strategies to optimise programme performance; to establish and coordinate collective learning networks; to harness social capital, disseminate good practices; and influence the conversion of learnings into action – from diagnostics, through design and delivery
- Develop communities of practice from various geographies and thematic areas to document cases of good practice.
Projects
Genesis team to boost TB recovery plan after Covid-19 setbacks
Genesis Analytics, through funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, aims to build the capacity of the Department of Health to fast-track the effective implementation of the TB Recovery Plan to ensure an effective transition to the new National TB Programme Strategic Plan 2023-2028.
Scaling up male circumcision in SA to prevent HIV infections
Genesis was awarded three-year contract from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to provide technical assistance to the South African national medical male circumcision (MMC) programme to build resilient local systems that successfully plan, effectively manage and efficiently execute the programme at scale, and transition MMC toward sustainability in South Africa.
Genesis co-manages UNAIDS Technical Support Mechanism
Genesis Analytics as part of the Oxford Policy Management-led consortium is tasked with managing all operations of the Technical Support Mechanism (TSM) in the East and Southern Africa region. The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) established the project to support the provision of high-quality technical assistance in East and Southern Africa (ESA), Asia-Pacific (AP), and West and Central Africa (WCA).
Strengthening HIV prevention through facilitated South-to-South learning
Genesis, in partnership with the University of Manitoba, is supporting the Global HIV Prevention Coalition (GPC) to establish and strengthen shared learning of best practice among 15 African countries heavily burdened by HIV. This is facilitated through the South-South Learning Network (SSLN), a GPC initiative.
Assessing impact of family planning programme for Kenyan girls
Genesis was contracted to conduct a rapid impact assessment of the Choice for Change (C4C) family planning programme in Kenya targeting adolescent girls. Choice for Change is a CIFF-funded initiative, though implemented through Marie Stopes Kenya (MSK), IPAS and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
Improving the accurate costing of HIV programmes in Africa
Genesis has been awarded a contract to undertake a number of learning activities that will improve countries’ abilities to accurately cost their HIV programmes, using national data systems, and interpret existing cost data, thereby enabling more effective planning, budgeting and ongoing decision-making.
