Leaders Drive the Health System
Results of Mentorship Approach in GIZ Focal districts
National LMG ConferenceIntercontinental Hotel, Nairobi
January 2013
Background German Development Cooperation supports the
Government of Kenya to improve equitable access to quality healthcare with a focus on Reproductive Health
GIZ Target areas: Bondo, Butere, Gucha, Kisumu East & Vihiga
Limited management competencies and limitations in translating theoretical technical skills in resource poor settings were identified as key challenges in health service delivery in the GIZ focal districts in the year 2009.
With the participation of district partners, GIZ designed a two pronged capacity building initiative
Mentorship-Management Approach
In 2012 the capacity building initiatives on leadership focused on three areas. These were jointly agreed between GIZ and participating district teams:
1.The integration and scaling up of the management and mentorship approach. 2.Ensuring sustainability of the initiative by strengthening the mentorship component and having the training offered by a recognized training institution3.Strengthening management competencies at both DHMT and facility level.
Training Components
The trainings were run as three distinct courses: Management for Effective Health (MEH) Plus Management Basics for Effective (MEH) 2012 Supervisory Skills for Effective Health (SSEH)
The first phase of the training, facilitated by trainers from Kenya School of Government, consisted of face to face lectures.
The second phase of the training, facilitated by a clinical mentor in close collaboration with trainers from KSG, involved implementation of a transfer project.

influence on health service delivery outcomes Functional teams with effective leaders produced better
results compared to teams that were struggling and had no clear leadership
Selection of mentors should be based on demonstrable capacity to mentor/coach
Improving on existing structures vis a vis adopting new ones is more cost effective in improving health service delivery
Stakeholder involvement is important in achieving desired objectives
Facility Experience
Project title: Increasing skilled delivery at Enzaro Health
Centre.
Project Focus
Enzaro Health Centre recorded low rates of facility deliveries (8.7 percent).This arose from a number of issues including:•Existence of certified TBAs in the catchment population•Poor facility-community linkage•Poor infrastructure •Lack of a proper referral system in the community for mothers in labour•Inadequate knowledge and skills among the technical staff particularly on management of labour, FANC and customer careThus the purpose of the project was to increase facility deliveries at the health centre from 9 percent to 43 percent
Key Activities
• Refurbished maternity ward• Updated 10 skilled health providers on AMSTL, use of
partograph, FANC and customer care• Introduced customer care desk• Collaboration with key stakeholders• Re-orientated TBAs to refer pregnant women to health facility
for skilled attendance• Used TBAs as birth companions• Conducted regular home visits to expectant mothers• Used motorcycles to refer mothers in labor to facility• Introduced hot drink and warm water for bathing after
delivery• Strengthened maternal data collection and utilization at the
facility
Results: Skilled Birth Attendance at Enzaro Health Centre
Deliveries increased from 9% to 52%
Lessons Learnt
Training health providers on management and mentoring them to improve technical skills is effective in improving of health service delivery
Community participation contributes immensely towards uptake of RH services
Team work and commitment to change are key in improving services
A facility can move to greater heights by using its own resources
