    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 program.

    The objectives of the mid-term review were to:

    1. Measure progress made against each functional area as outlined in the Sustainability Plan 2020-2025.
    2. Evaluate the strategy and sustainability priority actions to determine whether they still align with the existing needs and context.
    3. Re-prioritize government approaches based on the need to fast-track the expected outputs of the sustainability plan to consolidate and accelerate the gains achieved in NTD control and elimination.
    4. The mid-term review 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 program partners, district health team representatives, the World Health Organization (WHO), and relevant line ministries, such as the Ministry of Water and Environment, among others. It employed a mixed-methods approach to triangulate information across different sources, considering both primary and secondary data sources.

      Primary data was generated through:

      • An NTD stakeholder consultation workshop.
      • 15 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs).
      • Ad-hoc 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 program documents.

    What value did bodmando unlock?

    The mid-term review provided 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 offered insights into lessons learned and provided 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 achieve long-term success and resilience in the fight against these diseases.
