PERFORM2Scale end-of-project webinar
To mark the conclusion of our research, the EU-funded PERFORM2Scale project is holding a webinar - Lessons from PERFORM2Scale: Experiences of district-level management strengthening at scale. During the webinar we’ll be revealing the lessons learnt during our study and the potential applications of our approach to scaling-up.
About PERFORM2Scale
For the past five years our team - a consortium of research institutions from Africa and Europe - has been working on the scale-up of a Management Strengthening Intervention among district health management teams in Ghana, Malawi and Uganda. The intervention had previously been found to strengthen the capacity of district health managers, helping them to develop human resource management and health systems strategies to improve performance. Using an approach based on the ExpandNet model, PERFORM2Scale explored the potential for the intervention to be scaled-up for greater and longer-lasting impact.
