RHIYA Vietnam Midterm Review
Posted by Thanh Tung on 2006-08-08 04:41:31 |
 As RHIYA Vietnam is more than a half way through its implementation, this report provides an objective assessment of the project implementation during the past two years (February 2004 December 2005). It consists of four main parts. The introduction (part 1) gives the reader a general understanding about RHIYA and its main outputs, as well as the objectives of the mid-term review. This is followed by a brief account of the methods used for reviewing, as well as the process and limitations of the review (part 2). The most essential elements of the report are presented in the third part, where the study team presents their findings which are divided into five sections, namely i) achievements, ii) project management & collaboration, iii) challenges, iv) lessons learnt and v) sustainability. Based on those findings, in the final part, the authors come up with some recommendations (part 4) to help improve the implementation in the future. The core argument of the report is that though difficulties and constraints still remain, RHIYA has successfully established solid stepping stones to improve the reproductive health status of the young generation in Vietnam. More concretely, under output 1 of the program (enabling policy environment), a variety of advocacy activities have been accomplished, thus improving the legal and social environment for youth-oriented reproductive health (RH) information and services at national and local level. Though its hard to change long-lasting social norms and prejudices, the authors recognizes a slow yet steady change among people from the grass-roots to the elite, resulting in a more friendly and supportive attitude to the issues related to adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH). Similarly, performance under output 2 (sustained behaviour change within sexual and reproductive health among youth) Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) has increased the knowledge and awareness of youth with regard to ASRH issues. Quality as well as quantity data reveals that they are now more active in seeking counselling, information and have better understanding on fundamental ASRH issues. Under output 3 (establishment of youth-friendly services the supply side), the project has established a network of 22 Youth-friendly Corners (YFCs) that provide adolescents and youth (A/Y) with quality and friendly reproductive health services. This has been done to meet young peoples demand for information and services. These YFCs are well-equipped with facilities dedicated to youth only and with staff who have undergone significant training in provision of youth friendly services (YFS), advocacy and BCC. The number of young clients who put their faith in those corners is still limited, but it is increasing rapidly. What has been witnessed under output 4 (capacity building) is that local NGOs participating in the program have significantly increased their capacities within advocacy, behaviour change communication, youth-friendly services, gender, sexual and reproductive rights, and issues related to program management this has had a positive effect on the progress of the RHIYA program. Last, but not least, to ensure the harmonization of outputs and partners, a project management and collaboration mechanism has been established, and in general this mechanism is assessed to be working well, although it took time for all related partners to fully understand it and use it effectively. Aside from these positive achievements, the reports also mentions a series of challenges and constraints encountered, one of them being that RHIYA has only been implemented for a short period of time and changes do not happen over night. In the near future, issues that need to be addressed include, inter-alia, a non-supportive social & cultural environment; the lack of necessary resources (financial and human); limited involvement of disadvantaged/marginalized groups; how to strengthen youth involvement and youth-adult partnerships further; how to sustain and carry forward program achievements; how to keep a high quality of services in the YFCs and how to attract more youth to the corners; how to strengthen roles and capacities of the NGOs involved further; and how to deal with difficulties in monitoring and coordination as a consequence of a complicated program structure. However, the report does suggest responses to some of these questions. Based on findings from the review and inputs from RHIYA partners, a set of recommendations are presented within 5 key areas, namely i) Advocacy, ii) Health-seeking behaviour/behaviour change communication, iii) Youth-friendly services, vi) Management and collaboration, and v) Capacity building.
