DSW organised a workshop at Mityana district headquarters to support health facility in-charges to develop health facility work plans. DSW emphasised that some priority areas like family
planning, maternal health, child days plus, counseling and guidance, community
outreaches, immunization should be given priority.
During the planning exercise, Mr.
Mono Denis- District Health Educator of Mityana District applauded DSW
for facilitating the budget writing activity and advised participants to revise
their previous work plans.
The district
health department gave each health facility a work plan to cost it before it
could be approved that this time health workers are not supposed to
spend the money without following the work plan.

Ms. Diana Tibesigwa, Advocacy Officer of DSW told participants that, "we understand and know
that PHC funding is very small but we would like to see Family Planning considered on your
work plans as priorities. You can put Family Planning in unfunded priorities and this might
make donors consider funding Family Planning in your areas.

Health
facility in charges of
Maanyi, Ssekanyonyi, Malangala through Mr. Mono helped us identify
champions.
DSW trained them and they were told to come and give you feedback to
health facility in-charges because they will be supporting their work.
The champions already
sent their work plans and budgets, DSW is going to improve them so that
they
start working in July.
Ms. Tibesigwa
asked Health In-charges to give champions all the necessary support and also
ensure that they finish health facility work plans and hand them in. DSW
wants to work with health in charges and see how
we can address the challenge of the unmet need in family planning. DSW is planning to have quarterly
review
meetings with health in-charges and will continue engaging with them until
2018
when the project ends.
