    What was the client’s problem?

    RTI International in support of the Ugandan Ministry of Health contracted the services of Bodmando Consulting Group to conduct a mid-term review of the NTD sustainability plan 2020-2025 for the NTD control programme. The objectives of the mid-term review were to.

    • Measure progress made against each functional area as provided in the Sustainability Plan 2020-2025
    • Evaluate the strategy and sustainability priority actions and whether they still match the existing needs/context
    • Re prioritize the government approaches based on the need to fast-track the expected outputs of the sustainability plan to consolidate and accelerate the achieved NTD control and elimination gains.
    • The mid-term review of the NTD sustainability Plan also sought to create opportunities to review and share progress towards sustainability at national and local government levels with relevant sectors, implementing partners and other stakeholders

    What Approach and Methodology did Bodmando Undertake?

    •  The mid term review was conducted in a highly participatory and consultative manner through the engagement of NTD programme partners, district health team representatives, the World Health Organisation, relevant line Ministries such as the Ministry of Water and Environment amongst others. It entailed a mixed methods approach for the triangulation of information across different sources. We considered both primary and secondary data sources to gather information.
    •  Primary data was generated by conducting an NTD stakeholder consultation workshop, 15 Key Informant Interviews (KII) and through adhoc meetings and calls with various NTD stakeholders. Secondary data was generated from a desk review of relevant NTD indicators in the District Health Information System 2 (DHIS2) and other NTD programme documents such as the Sustainability Plan for the Neglected Tropical Diseases Control Program 2020-2025, WHO road map for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021–2030, the WHO sustainability framework for action against Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021–2030, WHO framework for monitoring and evaluating progress of the road map for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021−2030, the Uganda NTD Master plan 2023-2027, Neglected Tropical Diseases Monitoring & Evaluation Plan 2021-2025 for the VB/NTD division, Uganda Ministry of Health Strategic Plan_2020-2025 among several other documents.

    What value did bodmando unlock?

    The mid-term review offered an in-depth analysis of the progress made within each functional area of the NTD Sustainability Plan 2020-2025. By evaluating the implementation strategies and priority actions, the review identified key challenges and gaps in service delivery, operational capacity, and coordination. Furthermore, it provided insights into lessons learned and offered actionable recommendations tailored to address these gaps. These recommendations helped re-align the program’s focus, ensuring that the control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain on track. As a result, the review significantly contributed to Uganda’s ongoing efforts to reduce the burden of NTDs, while reinforcing sustainable, gender-inclusive, and locally-led approaches to ensure long-term success and resilience in the fight against these diseases.
