 Good afternoon. What's your name here, Shay? Ahmed. You can name me? Ahmed. And you should have seen me earlier. So, okay. I know you're not paying attention. I'm sorry. Welcome to the last session of the program for today, before we move on over to the extra classes. We have about 45 minutes. I'm joined here by Kofi, Duane and Sora from the Regional Dispatch. I'll give you a little bit of a background quick, a background where we are, although there is a background for it. You can do some insights for some of the activities, collaborations with you. And then I'll let each of you present the exactly where you're going. So, this time is a little bit of a repetition from the very first time you're in the game on Monday. I hope it's right for me to repeat it. This is a regional approach to capacity building and the access to peace and confidence. What is really like the port of this approach? And it's very critical in sustaining and supporting of this, really in sustainable each of the implementations. And one critical aspect of this is that they are there in the company or in their life company over time, providing almost lifelong support to the community. And with us over time, we are seen as a very trusted partner. That's their own. It's not a project-based. It's really their long track. And that's really important. If you think of how we design and team each of us overall, it's also very important for us to have people connected to software development and system design that are in the team. Talking to the user, listening, getting your requirements, testing your ideas and helping the core team globally to provide input to the software development process. And as we have seen many examples of this week, when those problems are solved locally, they are also shared in this network. Both the terms of things that go back to the core platform but also look at these local innovations, expansions that Austin and others presented this morning. Over time, we also work with a lot of the global partners that support the HRS2 with investments to formalize a bit more of this group model. And also being able to fund it over time so that they can do strong groups providing the support in the new business. For us it's important that all of these groups share a set of core values related to things like open source, reading of ownership in companies, supporting sustainability, integration, data usage, etc. We share these rights and we can raise an impact on all the values that all these groups are signing when they sign the MOU. I'm enjoying the impact of this method. So we have right now 17 groups. First Africa, Asia and Latin America. They all need to be on the right. And of course, the University of Austin is also one of the many groups that have met quite quickly. What we've seen is that many of these groups are managed by former HD students from the HD school that we are coordinated from all stuff. And this also is just going to teach you about the local universities. I think they should mention that the work we do is running master programs to get the local universities and also adding local HD students from the university to make part of our HD program. So that's a key part of our capacity degree. So I just, there's a couple of steps in this thing. Some of the ways we work together and we share a couple of innovations and other results. This is a little bit more of a process how we work together. So one, of course, one very important part is sharing our experiences and innovation. And of course, we do have some across these groups. So we organize, you know, formally, formally, we think very nice, we've done a lot of student meetings during the pandemic, sharing local innovations so that all the groups can learn what other groups have done and then support their colleagues. One very big example where we work a lot over the last days is the vaccination certificates where we don't have a solution coming straight from the court but extensions are developed in politics and then the way that the 70 groups have a lot of 17 different approaches to this, we facilitate the sharing and you see already how it works. We also work on Slack, through history, communication channel, where you have all the court developers and the implementers in my team and all the experts. And there, you know, there is sharing experiences, asking questions and discussions. So that's a very nice challenge of communication. We also do a bit more and more formal seminars on the spectrum of families, on the different technical topics. You probably heard by now of the digital packages, the digital metadata packages. So that's one area where we do a lot of orientation, a lot of disparate, get feedback from them and then all the technical topics to the HR's implementations, top ability, so very security, end-of-mise, etc. New end-of-mise applications, etc. And then of course, another big area is having a program with the HR training program. So we work closely with the experts in developing the curriculum, value training methods overall about the components of the program. And then of course, there's a lot of facilitation around the work, actually doing these training events and that's of course collaboration between groups and also the reporting in the store. And then last week, we had what we call the HIST week and at this we're going to try to get together all of us regularly and discuss many, obviously more on strategic discussions how to continue to improve the HIST program, so if you're just discussing how we can better support companies and organizations and also sharing how we can strengthen our own organizations. So we have a very interesting week last week and under pandemic we also did a talk this week. We had a chance to meet several clients during the other. Another example of collaborative activities is the Data Incidentation Day that was launched by the HIST program at UILO working with all the experts and by the team it is with very, you know, a lot of participation across the HIST network. The idea is to learn from local research and interventions related to data use, how to improve data use and use of the HIST with the support decision. And then one of the software side is the last two points. They're by the HIST product design papers organized by the HIST product managers and then experts and co-developers work together on the standard requirements to use the stories from the team and also experts head to validate to test and validate the features throughout the development process. From that design to the other technologies and getting feedback. So that's a very important way to link software development and the applications to the experts. And then you have long big meeting every year which is more focusing on within the roadmap for the coming releases. And then the HIST groups come together they discuss with the ministries and education of the government institutions to get requirements from each country they put together a regional project list and then during the global meetings each region comes with requirements from different public areas and we try to put together a private list for the software development for the coming releases. So over a little bit to this key topic for today I'm explaining a little bit about this in your course from the region of these clubs which was a model that was introduced by global firm and a way to decentralize the coordination of the HIST-EA of the company supporting the HIST to implement these and I do is to decentralize the government coordination from the UIO and global firm doing it to the HIST groups doing it each region and they're doing there are some new groups that are doing but the idea is the same that we have three regional hubs and they kind of it's a HIST group but of course they're the regional hub secretariat and contracted by global firms so these are the three hubs that represent later on the left and this is questions from Africa contracted by global firm to coordinate and to support in that region and then these are the groups that run the Amazon in Nigeria and South Africa but also supporting some groups in that region and they work collaboratively together on that coordination and support and then Eastern Southern Africa is hosted by Uganda and these are the groups listed and then in the Asia region it's hosted by this area and they will write that money that's on the system but the initial spark was to come up with a coordinating mechanism for the three years and we created some local firms from 21 to 23 but it certainly a model to break down and Nigeria was that and this had also not a support from the lead size and business partners that are supporting and understanding contract limitations that this can be built on and they already see some examples in the Asia region also kind of using this model to support and to go from this in the same way in the local region so just a little bit about what's the role of our team at the University of Ops now in supporting this model so we worked over many years with global firm to prepare the concept we had a lot of discussions with all these groups on governance model and if you know we have the time so we spent a lot of work on that and we also have a complex thank you with the global firm which is a lot of continuous working on elevation and guidance to the three groups on improving this model and then we also made a coordinating partnership by leading the global firm here to and they kind of will take on to support complex for example with Derby we see the University of Ops but it's the same many of the same so it makes a lot of sense to try to align with the global firm with Derby and UNICEF we have our own there from the University of Ops and see all this activity we work with these groups to do that in a coordinated way so that it's complete first and supporting complete in a coordinated way and then there's also a lot of focus of course in for this group to be able to take a big contract like this strong demand from global firm and you know the universities to improve admin governance finance and that's something we focus a lot on over the last couple of years we've increased investments in staff admin finance capacity of the local districts and also working with global firms and we have a project supporting admin finance and also working very closely with admin experts and we hear a lot more about this work and then we also of course pair all in a fascinating way to create the groups sharing experiences and learning from each other one more example a complete example of how we work together is that on this global firm contract and I think this could have been with any other local investors as well there is a set of activities that global firm are funding and there is the PRP bottom these are the highest tier activities that are available through and in order to be able to provide a standard support in a standardized way across the region and also make sure that you know it's high quality work we work together with the sprints to provide a standardized support for each of these activities and that includes things like what are expected outcomes and results of this activity best practice approaches to achieving it also some estimations about how many days you need to support this you may need prerequisites a complete proposal and in the previous session you saw the maturity model with some of the dependencies between the different activities and then also working with COMPLIST to see how can this tier which is coming in in a number of days help COMPLIST to that latest standard don't provide them with any support happiness to COMPLIST and then go for and this we did in collaboration with the experts and there were some examples about them this is the long impact this so that was the quick intro from my side and then we are here from the groups so we are going to do the groups and then we will take questions at the end thank you good afternoon everyone my name is Joanne and I am from Euranga but I am responsible for the Southern and Eastern African region within the ecosystem and all has spoken a little bit about how the house was set up and that we have three homes representing the different regions so maybe I could just explain as to why we have the house in these countries and the role of the robo fund so the robo fund pretty much led the conceptualization so they have it is not a legal entity but it is an and a management layer within the system and as we mentioned before it is really around coordinating funding in critical areas and being able to continue to support as many countries as possible now between the house and each and every single group we have an envelope that is signed that states the sum of what and who is responsible for what and I will go back to the question that I think is obvious why you got them to go and be there before the the house was set up and any decision was done to look at the infrastructure between these two homes to be able to understand that do we have program management and financial structures in place to be able to handle this work that goes across different countries and the capacity to do that was done by Pricewaterhouse and we looked at several areas that download and evaluation financial capabilities things like HR policy and things like that and from that assessment certain recommendations were made in the past year me and my colleagues have been really working hard to look up that say that we financial management is in place which is missing these work these these and this is what you've done for the past year you really raise our capacity to be able to offer tier and support the other countries that we are working in and as you mentioned these are just some things we are starting to strengthen the capacity and we are going to escalate the opportunity to do that I would like to invite Zoran Henry to take us to the next stage and Zoran so I think with the development of HR as you will find a lot of potential is given on setting up a management structure we really need to find the tools so that we have good participation from the list of members and each of these structures have your kind of development just again which we operate so this is how it operates this is a common structure in all the three hubs we have a steady company which has a pointed person and one team that work from each of these groups they have a team of us basically a steady company is an overarching group who looks at the strategic direction on vision and kind of coordinate the different opportunities in the region that we are working and then with working with the project management in the progress of the project with respect to the work on the data set project challenges the projects and where the investments are required to be taken in case of certain issues this course we need every quarter and taking a set of people coming to ask for them and what should we do and if there is a planning issue we will teach the main character in the groups for the specific three items then a more operational structure as a project management team which can be one and one depending upon the team which the base group is doing in the region they want the operations side of things they do the actual planning and we ask them based on the team they do have their specific voices which have been approved by the leader of the group they are supposed to make money based on what is planned depending upon the requirements of the technical system they were suggestions and recommendations to have HUB-centric data statements so each of the HUB's had data statements and HUB's focus points so we are basically looking at the where we lose the contracts that is how we need to assign the base groups to find some action then we will ensure that this group gets great quality data so this is probably how this structure has been set up and there is enough coordination between these people to work on the project to ensure that we are doing better than it was before so are you guys hoping to be proud of this? so this is how the HUB is the process how we initiate the TA technical assistance so the beginning of the process we didn't have that maturity model assessment but now it is the requirement for any country to get that TA so the first thing to do is to get that maturity assessment done once the assessment is done there are a set of priority actions to be done so it moves to those requests of TA that will be tied up to the priority gaps that has been identified from the maturity assessment and the global reform is saying that for the whole world the global reform we need to have 80 yes 85% that are coming directly from the maturity model assessment and 18% will be 15% will be on demand request of TA's so once we have those requests up then we undergo an approved process we have a back and forth process until the TA is approved we have to develop a scope of work that states clearly what activities are going to be implemented and what are the deliverance that are weighted from the TA and then we undergo the implementation of the country with the country players like the HMIS team the program team and so on then once the it is implemented we undergo a quality assurance process it is required for us in quality assurance the deliverance that we have in Q and TA so we have two tools to assess the quality of our TA's we have the plan satisfaction survey that is being let's have to be completed by the country also by the country team the global country team and then we have the first quality review both of them are looking at deliverance ensure that they comply with the quality requirement that has been defined with UI and with global song so once we have quality assurance those deliverance then we can close the TA and invoice the global song global song so I will continue with the work we do as her in the WCA the West and Central Africa her the lead is the host I can say the host is WCA which is located in Togo but it covers a bunch of countries in West and Central Africa so the members of this group are Nigeria, Mozambique and Sargentus and Rwanda and the chair is Alucan Alucan is the lead for this Nigeria unfortunately he is not able to get there because of administrative considerations so together we cover 24 countries if you are in the list of those countries then you know that we are the Togo to help you in achieving your HMIs and THIs objective to catch up the funding and the TA so I will figure out if you are in the list then what you have been able to achieve until now is to perform maturity assessment in two countries Togo completed so far TTS and there are eight more going and we have concentrated maturity model two in French it is to be reviewed and to be approved so that we can use it so till now that's the route you have completed it's not that much and we are eager to do more and that can be done only if you request it thank you I joined again I joined from Greece, Southern and South Africa and as I mentioned before this program takes the peak in the region and the chair of our steering committee is Dr. Winfrey Zeon from East Transnair the members are East Ethiopia, East Kenya East Malawi, East Mozambique East France, East Transnair and East Uganda we cover countries and territories 29 of them and three languages now if you look at this program you can definitely see a broad spectrum of different cultures and different languages and this presents definitely a challenge in terms of implementing certainty but as we have every confidence in the skillset and in the ability of the elite to be able to act to the needs of the countries and I will show that from the kind of work that we've done from the maturity assessment so we did our pilot team and also in Uganda and from that pilot we have put in approval to do assessments in the country in Somalia Southern Sudan Zimbabwe and Malawi now you can see that some of these of us we are French speaking some of these are Portuguese speaking and again from the profile of the teams here we have every confidence that we are able to do that we have done two level one academies East Transnair and Uganda and in these academies the teams from Uganda from Kenya to support the training we are able to give approval for the experience that we receive in the training they have been they have managed to take advantage of the skillset that exist in the history of Uganda by doing training of DHRSWS and in private areas I also want to call everyone from Uganda who was able to work with the team in Malawi to deliver online training and in this online training there are teams from all over Southern and East Africa and it is very interactive they get feedback as the training is going on and from that we also share this experience because we also discovered new areas that we needed to explore and build upon another one so I'll go to the kind of key areas that are in the planning stage we are going to support more Sudan and Eritrea in these areas in the DHRSWS developing DHRSWS doing a secondary move and we also developing logistics management in Sydney I mentioned the issue of Uganda which is an adaptation of everything from training to different training materials and this is very, very vital that it takes place because we have to make sure that any work that we are doing is really as long as possible and as loose the teams on the ground so this idea of translation and adaptation of materials is very important and I say to you thank you very much thank you he is Tessia we have leaders in Uganda we have members from his family he shares Pakistan he said that he does a few countries where he has put operation and I support him in his streets there is a point in time in many countries Pakistan is a new west group that is going to be his family to pair He is a support team in Uganda Vietnam is a support team Vietnam and Pacific are we can provide so we have initiated our majority sessions in 5 countries of that time. In 6 more countries in the region, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Laos, Nepal, Gopi, and South Thailand, they are still in Thailand as the countries that they are supposed to come to. We did similar because of the two half-year organized regional activities in Thailand. They were done as focusing on COVID-19 vaccination and surveillance at the same time in these institutions, later implemented in the region. And as I mentioned, we were able to use the HMAP model to meet the requirements of the integration of the HMAP. We had similar work opportunities here at the HMAP. We're carrying out HMAP sessions, specifically focusing on the HMAP program, political participation, so that we are collaborating again with the HMAP community. This was the last day of the vaccination. Thank you. We have a limited time for questions. If not, we can start the launch further. Can I jump in with a question? Okay. Sorry, this is Michelle Monroe from the Global Fine. First, just to say thanks to all of his pubs because they've done an amazing amount of work this last year to set up this new level of network and really starting to see a lot of options from that. And then just to highlight, say, I think you just as mentioned in the presentations like Global Fund is a champion of this, you know, adding this level to the network. But definitely don't want people to think that the hubs are specific to Global Fund. They're, you know, that's part of the network. We're just the first group, I guess I should say, supporting our portions of our TA that we would otherwise fund them and us putting that through the HIST pubs. And lastly to say, I think, you know, for us, what Global Fund has found and one of the reasons why we have supported this so strongly is that we're really for the TA that we would normally fund centrally, not just for GHS2 or analytical capacity and other central TA. We're really trying to focus ways to do that at a more regional and localized level. So they can have this better coordination across and with it in the countries and across donors and others. We still of course have TA and such that's going through the grants as well. And that is directly funded with different HIST groups. We, yeah, just wanted to explain that background there. I'm definitely happy if people have any questions about that from the kind of donor lens to follow up with folks. Thanks. Any questions? We have two hands. Another one. We have Chris here and then the lady up there. Let's start with Chris. How this would be related? I think there are two things that I saw that you know through this part. You meant it's perhaps not through this, right? Yeah. Alright. So as I mentioned before, one of the problems that we have is that challenges of downages. So a lot of countries in West Africa, there are some countries in East Africa that are facing the same thing with Portuguese. So, but physically speaking, they are living in West Africa. So what we have done is that for example, this is for the big ones, the police are living in South Angola. South of Negros is all on the other side of the country. And I already get there. They are the biggest country and the most established physical group. So what we do is we work really closely with the police in West Africa to make sure that the only thing that we are doing is coordinating. So that there is no problem. And the biggest example, last quarter, in West Africa, they did an academy. And so this was a big post-coordinated translate in the economy. And then this quarter is going to be done in East Africa. And some of the Portuguese-speaking countries are going to obviously attend. So we work very closely. We work very closely together to make sure that we don't leave anyone outside. Thank you. There was one more here. I cleared it. Good afternoon. Hi. I heard from the great show, the two people you talked to today about this. Do you have any experience working with the literature faculty of participation and all this is on internet in W. Patricia's. We have this, like, Asia. We have Asia in the inner world. So how do you work for any of these packages? And if you'd like more of treatment for those packages, how do you work with them? No, sorry. Yeah. We have a collaboration with a number of meetings in Seattle and Europe. We work with countries in the internet. We have a special called BBI. They already have, either with any kind of scratch in the package or you have a package that has to be the last package. So the package work depends on the use cases. Like for Myanmar, we work with the BBI directly to do the BBI activity when the package is there. So, but there are a lot of things, especially in Seattle where we are redirected. We have to talk to the faculty of course. So everything has to do with the package work. So it has been spent on the program, which is a company focusing on. And the package is where we do the most specific for that. So when there is an opportunity to collaborate with the faculty of the institute, which are in Seattle, so in command, it is specific. Just a follow-up question. For example, when you have signed a contract for this, and you have a large agency, and who should I work with? Yeah. I think if you follow this case, then each case has the history. So it can be for a time limit. And depending upon the time limit, where the interaction has to be at best, can be an incident where it is to focus on the time limit, the interest in the patient's time limit. So, I think if you are going to be able to make a connection, you will be able to make that connection so that you can touch the light. We just have a quick here. Michelle is on the phone soon. And for this particular global program, of course, it's HRA TV, but I am a talker. And Global Fund has a similar arrangement with WHO. So we are working also globally together with the WHO programs, to develop these packages. Some of these are just in here called case based and aggregate through the three programs. And we are working with the distributors in coordinating the implementation of those packages. You know, regarding their own packages, the implementation is very nice. And, yeah, I will see the examples of all the programs. Coffee, that's something. And as you see there, for example, looking at faster than we have there, to support TV track development was based on the packages, the WHO recommended packages, that has been developed together with UIU. So the same thing with the immunization packages that we implemented with the support of the other countries, and also with the surveillance packages, and we get ideas on cases, so I mean, using those packages, when you are with us together and we have the benefit of the countries, and some countries have been doing it together with the WHO, the office, the country office, or UNICEF, and in Western Central Africa, we have been able to push national data into the individual database, regarding surveillance and realisation as well. So there are practical and global collaboration with the individual and using those packages. I don't know if you can add something. It's a good point. Yeah, please. That's what it says. Yeah. That's what it says. Well, those are the points and the constraints. The presentation has been kind of in this contract with the global forum. I think in practice, it's really in the global forum to account. But actually, even before this hub system was for analysis, we realised that the main hub network was really quite nice. So for example, the acquisition support that we've been talking about since 18, 20, 19, there was a sort of form that is a ritual apple, in the fact that it was too easy for the community to coordinate with the authorities, because you need to actually coordinate with their authorities, because it's not necessarily much, it's no way that they can coordinate with their supermen on the 90s in Africa. So it was, in practice, more efficient, the same for everyone, and then this is important, after a few months, for one example, this is the hub. So this was the administration, and this was able to do all the relationships to the system, to the database, to the program. And the same point I wanted to do as I had made in the previous slide. In the country, the support was really huge, or a huge amount of relationships in the people region. And I think it's also, you know, which is what I'm thinking of as well. So I'm always going, I'm always talking to you, I'm always going, I just want to stress that a lot is clear. And they are ready to go, and I just want to stress that the support and the process which you end up analyzing are the successful facilities. And my last point was, I think it's, in each country, as you know, it's on the website and in certain national contexts and all of that, I think it's free to have some help with a very network that can defend the facilities of every region. And I think this is important in terms of the language bias in terms of challenges and aspects to some vision. So I think the various industries that are kind of involved with the violence that are which are just the problems that we need to solve. Thanks very much. I think we can just comment because I think that that was your way of seeing what I found in this slide. So, and we are working, and the network is expanding and some of you probably might have seen it, we have Pablo Ramon, Syrian-based in Turkey and you know, are speaking with last expert and we are exploring ways to strengthen I think in my mind where we are, I have been speaking at least and I think having a hope and the experience of some of these groups like I did not sit on practice in helping new groups to be established, I think it is very powerful and it is in our past that we have been working with people in Pakistan as well. We are working also in Latin America there is a small group and we are also working with other people in the region with experience in the region to see what are making better established in the world. And we just are very different and in some of the networks in East Africa may not work but we just have to do it in a different place. We just have to take on an emerging and a new region is also in Europe, Central Asia, the Russian speaking and the country culture and also being able to find a good partners there and in the Middle East it is important to support these in one of the ways. We have in a few minutes before we open the lounge outside, I think we have a few more questions or we can talk. So if there are more questions I can just maybe explain quickly the expert lounge so in the step up you see that it is a mix of sessions that are assigned in the book for you and so on and so on. The main groups that are having the book for you are assigned with the Latin American area which is good for science for example and good configuration especially enhancements we just do implementation support those will be down the table stations out there we can approach the expert and how long it will take and then there will be two sessions that are more group sessions that will be auditorium 1 and 4 so here in this auditorium there is a session called discussion on problems and problems that come this way that's what he has right now we like to know and then he will refer it to the expert lounge discussion of the best professional efforts. So we got there and the four experts and we are the lounge thank you so much.
