BackgroundAs part of our review of the evidence of the effectiveness of community–based primary health care (CBPHC) in improving maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH), we summarize here the common delivery strategies of projects, programs and field research studies (collectively referred to as projects) that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving child mortality. Other articles in this series address specifically the effects of CBPHC on improving MNCH, while this paper explores the specific strategies used.MethodsWe screened 12 166 published reports in PubMed of community–based approaches to improving maternal, neonatal and child health in high–mortality, resource–constrained settings from 1950–2015. A total of 700 assessments, including 148 reports from other publicly available sources (mostly unpublished evaluation reports and books) met the criteria for inclusion and were reviewed using a data extraction form. Here we identify and categorize key strategies used in project implementation.ResultsSix categories of strategies for program implementation were identified, all of which required working in partnership with communities and health systems: (a) program design and evaluation, (b) community collaboration, (c) education for community–level staff, volunteers, beneficiaries and community members, (d) health systems strengthening, (e) use of community–level workers, and (f) intervention delivery. Four specific strategies for intervention delivery were identified: (a) recognition, referral, and (when possible) treatment of serious childhood illness by mothers and/or trained community agents, (b) routine systematic visitation of all homes, (c) facilitator–led participatory women’s groups, and (d) health service provision at outreach sites by mobile health teams.ConclusionsThe strategies identified here provide useful starting points for program design in strengthening the effectiveness of CBPHC for improving MNCH.

Resumo O presente trabalho descreve o processo de elaboração de uma proposta de Certificação e Classificação por Qualidade Nutricional para restaurantes em formato bufê, a ser aplicada pelo serviço de vigilância sanitária municipal. O processo caracteriza-se pela coprodução no design de serviços públicos, visando à promoção da saúde para enfrentamento das Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNT). Participaram pessoas e organizações com diferentes conhecimentos sobre o tema, reunidos em sete encontros. O roteiro de inspeção para certificação e classificação dos restaurantes foi coproduzido em seus critérios, pontuações, classificações e símbolo. A avaliação dos participantes demonstrou que a maneira pela qual se conduziu o processo foi, no geral, adequada, porém é necessário investir em outras formas de abordagem com consumidores e representações de restaurantes para que participem mais ativamente. O trabalho potencialmente contribui para que outros setores da vigilância sanitária municipal e demais organizações públicas desenvolvam instrumentos de trabalho de forma coproduzida, para facilitar uma escolha mais saudável de alimentos pelos consumidores, ajudar a melhorar a qualidade nutricional dos alimentos servidos em restaurantes tipo bufê, e contribuir para o enfrentamento das DCNT no âmbito municipal.

“…Emphasis is needed on models for working together, whether through the United Nations system or platforms for interactions with NGOs, to ensure intersectoral activities at all levels and widespread buy-in and participation by a range of national stakeholders 33,34 . The health status of peoples and populations will improve from direct service delivery with related macrointerventions and microinterventions as opposed to political statements at high-level jamborees.…”

With the adoption, in September 2015, of the Sustainable Development Goals with a time horizon of 2030, there is a dire need to exploit avenues for the monitoring of progress towards meeting the targets pertaining to sexual and reproductive health, whether at global, regional, national or grassroots level. The current process for the selection of indicators, to complement the targets, provides an opportunity for a concerted effort to improve monitoring procedures and ensure their relevance for programme adjustment and accountability. It is imperative for national processes to ensure effective reporting besides linkages with related sectors.
