ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The development of midwives leadership, Governance and management (LMG) curriculum was made possible by contribution of several individuals and organizations at different levels of the process. We express our heartfelt appreciation to them for their support, suggestions and hard work towards completion of the curriculum.

First and foremost, our gratitude goes to the ministries of health (MOHs) and midwives’ regulatory bodies in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi and Ethiopia for the support and views shared regarding this training. Further gratitude goes to AMREF DCB faculty particularly the Virtual School lecturers Micah, Felarmine, Ruth and Emma for facilitating the process technically and in logistics. Special thanks go to MSH team (Lourdes & Sasha), Kenya’s Division of Reproductive Health (DRH) and the Midwives chapter representatives for providing the necessary material and collaborative support to bring the process to fruition; their resources supported convening of working sessions and reviews.

We are also grateful to the leadership of both MSH and AMREF especially the leadership from the Directorate of Capacity Building for mutually negotiating on this transformative course that will see midwifery managers acquire appropriate and competent LMG knowledge, skills and practices. The list is long but thanks to you all who helped this process in one way or the other through the strength of individual effort. We wish to acknowledge all those individuals who helped and supported this process in one way or another.

It is for this reason that the Africa Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) and Management Sciences for Health (MSH) are seeking to bridge the gap by providing theory and practice in LMG through blended HMWXERGI� PIEVRMRK� ETTVSEGL��%16)*� MW� ER� MRHITIRHIRX� RSR�TVS½X� SVKERMWEXMSR�[LSWI�QMWWMSR� MW� XS� MQTVSZI�health and healthcare in Africa. AMREF and MSH aim to ensure that every African midwifery services manager can be an agent of transformative leadership in their service delivery workplaces. To achieve this mission, the Directorate of Capacity Building at AMREF has a vision to develop and deliver quality practical training, ensure access to expertise and information for community development and contribute to effective health training and research in Africa. In addition, the Directorate’s mission is to strengthen capacity and capability of health and health-related professionals and institutions through human resource training and development.

Upon completion of this training, the midwifery service managers will form respective country networks to provide mentorship and coaching to the newly recruited/employed midwifery care providers especially the fresh entries into the profession. This will provide an avenue for a lasting change in provision of midwifery services in the continent thus improving the MNCH indicators.

To build the capacity of midwifery services managers to improve their capacity to deal with health workforce challenges that are a common issue in SSA

Provide lower levels of the health systems with effective leaders and managers especially now that health services are being heavily decentralised.

Improve resource mobilization strategies among midwifery services managers thus bridging the gap on limited capacity to mobilize and absorb funds.Improve the M&E skills among midwifery services managers for better reporting of MNCH constraints, needs and outcomes in SSA

4.1 GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS CURRICULUM

The following principles should be considered in the adaptation and implementation of this curriculum:�� Evidence-informed: The curriculum and its implementation should be informed by evidence with

VIWTIGX�XS�GSYVWI�GSRXIRX�ERH�HIPMZIV]��8LI�GSRXIRX�HIZIPSTIH�WLSYPH�VI¾IGX�GYVVIRX�XVIRHW�EW�QYGL�EW�possible.

�� Gender responsive: The curriculum and associated training should be gender responsive in terms of language, content, and selection of participants.

�� Focus on health outcomes: The curriculum should orient participants toward the achievement of priority health outcomes.

�� Team focus: The curriculum focuses on individual and group empowerment to achieve enhanced teamwork, because large-scale changes in health service delivery call for team approaches. The participants

should therefore be encouraged to work in teams/groups during face to face session Relevance to local GSRXI\X�ERH�RIIHW��8LI�GYVVMGYPYQ�GSRXIRX�VI¾IGXW�PSGEP�GSRXI\XW�ERH�I\TIVMIRGIW��8LI�WGIREVMSW�YWIH�MR�teaching should be contextualized as much as possible. Projects picked by students should be very relevant to the context the midwifery managers work in Value for the investment and sustainability: The curriculum and associated training should include a focus on value for the money and on sustainability.

�� Stakeholder alignment, mobilization and engagement: The curriculum and associated training should leverage the input of relevant stakeholders. Stakeholders should be appropriately aligned to get their support and ownership.

�� Application of LMG to priority health challenges: The curriculum will be implemented in a way that prepares participants to apply what they learn in addressing priority health challenges including in midwifery services delivery; family planning and reproductive health; maternal, newborn, and child health. Application can be achieved through the use of appropriate examples and by encouraging participants to select projects focusing on these priority health areas

6.0 LEARNERS’ EVALUATION (THEORY AND PRACTICE)Course evaluations will combine both theoretical and practical assessments.i) A pre-training questionnaire will be given to prospective participants to assess the level of knowledge

on LMG practices prior to joining the programmeii) A post-training questionnaire will be given to participants 6 months post the 5 day training to assess

the acquisition of knowledge and skills from the trainingiii) Participants will have an opportunity to evaluate each of the sessions during the face to face week.iv) Facilitators will work with individual participants to develop and monitor implementation of

transformational plans

7.0 COURSE DELIVERY; TRAINING METHODS AND FACILITITATION SKILLSThis curriculum is built around real work related challenges that midwifery managers face on a day to day basis. The content addresses cross-cutting issues in various countries in health programmes especially in MNCH services delivery, different cultures and geographical settings notwithstanding. From the training onset, learners will be expected to identify a leadership, governance or management gap that affects delivery of MNCH services in individual work station/facility/district and start designing a transformative project to address it. In every module, the learners will be expected to apply, in a selected relevant transformative project, the challenge model using problem solving approach to implement the project

Training methodologies will mainly entail experiential learning; action based learning; challenge, feedback and support. Participants will be provided with opportunities to take up challenges, receive feedback and support thus enabling them develops leadership and management capabilities
