Le financement basé sur les résultats, première étape vers la mise en oeuvre de la couverture universelle de santé
Céline MEWISSEN | 30/01/2019
Le programme d'appui au système de santé a pour objectif d’améliorer l’accès des populations aux soins de santé primaires de qualité par la mise en oeuvre graduelle de la Couverture Universelle de Santé (CUS). Dans un premier temps, il mettra en place, en collaboration avec la Direction Régionale de la Santé Publique (DRSP) et l’Equipe Cadre de District (ECD), une Agence de Financement Basé sur les Résultats chargée du suivi mensuel des performances atteintes par chaque formation sanitaire, de la rétribution directe à chacune d’elles en fonction des performances atteintes et enfin de l’accompagnement technique des formations sanitaires dans l’utilisation de ces ressources (salaire du personnel médical, dépenses de fonctionnement, primes de motivation, etc.). Dans un deuxième temps, le PASS prévoit d’utiliser la mise en place du Financement Basé sur les Résultats, notamment l’expérience de l’Agence Départementale FBR, pour passer à une Agence Départe-mentale d’Assurance Maladie Universelle (AMU). Celle-ci inclurait les fonctions de : financement direct des prestataires ; prise en compte de la demande (la voix de la communauté sur la qualité des soins reçus) ; contrôle de la qualité technique des prestations ; gestion des adhérents à l’AMU et de l’utilisation de leur cotisation. On voit bien qu’il s’agit de reprendre les fonctionnalités du FBR en les amplifiant avec l’inclusion de la Demande et des adhérents à l‘AMU. Le chemin pour arriver à une couverture universelle de santé cou-vrant toute la population sera long. Le PASS a comme objectif d’aider le Ministère de la Santé Publique à faire les premiers pas dans les deux districts sanitaires appuyés (Gaya et Gothèye) couvrant plus de 500.000 habitants. En savoir plus : Le mécanisme de Financement basé sur les résultats La stratégie de financement basé sur les résultats (FBR) vise à augmenter la quantité et la qualité des soins préventifs et curatifs fournis à la population à travers la rétribution directe de la performance de chaque forma-tion sanitaire. Cette rétribution est effectuée sur la base d’un contrat de performance entre une partie qui paye (l’Agence Départementale du FBR) et une partie qui fournit les soins (les prestataires : Hôpital de district et le réseau de Centres de santé Intégrés-CSI).

Belgian Ambassador at Inauguration Ceremony for River Bank Works in Binh Thuan
Ian WOOD | 24/01/2019
On 10 January 2019, the Provincial People’s Committee of Binh Thuan had the great honor to welcome Mr Paul Jansen, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, for the inauguration ceremony for completion of works to strengthen the embankment of the Luy River in Phan Thanh commune, Bac Binh District. The construction which helps to stabilize the river banks and reduce erosion risk was implemented under the Belgium-funded project of “Integrated water resource management and urban planning related to climate change in Binh Thuan Province”. Climate change and its contribution to flooding and river bank erosion are significant issues in Binh Thuan and this area along the Luy river in Ca Dien hamlet of Phan Thanh commune in Binh Phuoc hamlet of Cho Lau town were identified as high-risk for river bank instability. To prevent further erosion and to protect adjacent houses and valuable agricultural land construction works were implemented to protect 330m of river bank at Ca Dien Hamlet and 250m at Binh Phuoc. Implementation of the works was managed by the Project Coordination Unit of the Binh Thuan project along with the support of Enabel, the Belgian Development Agency.The ceremony was hosted by Mr Le Tuan Phong, Deputy Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and attendance included representatives from the province’s departments and agencies, district and commune leaders and many local inhabitants who are the beneficiaries of the works.The total investment was 567,000 euro from Belgian funds and another 76,600 euro from other sources. Construction work consists of 330 metres of river embankment in Canh Dien hamlet and 250 metres in Cho Lau town. The construction includes concrete and rock reinforcement of the river bank plus a concrete road to enhance all-weather access. As a cost-saving measure and to enhance the aesthetics, the design incorporates reinforced vegetation sections at the top of the bank using Vetiver grass. This grass is known to be very resistant to erosion and this innovation provides demonstration of its effectiveness to provide a greener alternative for river protection works. When in operation, this project will help reduce erosion at the Luy river and protect people’s houses and crops. It will also help improve the travelling situation of the local residents, and protect the environment along the river. The works at Ca Dien Hamlet provide protection to 60 houses and the works at Binh Phuoc Hamlet provide protection to 40 houses. In total, the work will benefit about 3,000 residents, of whom 1,000 are living in the area nearby the work, and the other 2,000 are inhabiting the surrounding areas.

Le renforcement des capacités individuelles comme tremplin vers le développement socio-économique
Céline MEWISSEN | 21/01/2019
L’intervention renforcement des capacités (IRC) vise à accroître les performances des acteurs des secteurs de la santé et de l’élevage afin de contribuer efficacement au développement desdits secteurs. Elle vient en appui aux deux nouveaux programmes mis en oeuvre par Enabel : PASS et PRADEL. Le groupe cible de l’intervention comprend les acteurs étatiques, le secteur privé et les organisation de la Société Civile (OSC) pouvant influencer le développement dans les secteurs de la santé et de l’élevage.L’intervention IRC se base sur une approche novatrice pour adresser les besoins en renforce-ment organisationnel et institutionnel. Elle part de l’hypothèse qu’encourager les différents groupes d’acteurs dans leur performance organisationnelle, en se basant sur leurs rôles et fonctions respectifs, conduit à long-terme au développe-ment socio-économique.La porte d’entrée pour le renforcement des capacités est l’organisation qui est considérée comme «le moteur» du développement. Il s’agit de prendre sous la loupe les capacités institutionnelles et organisationnelles existantes, pour déterminer les capacités individuelles qui sont à renforcer afin de développer l’organisation. L'organisation est donc considérée comme un « capteur » de capacités individuelles afin de les transformer en performance organisationnelle.Le processus de renforcement procédera par analyses organisationnelles qui seront traduites en cartes de performances sur base desquelles seront élaborés des plans de renforcement des capacités (RC). La mise en oeuvre des activités de renforcement découlera d’une consolidation préalable en vue d’avoir une plus grande économie d’échelle. Cette consolidation prendra en compte les thèmes transversaux et prioritaires à savoir le genre, l’approche basée sur les droits humains, le changement climatique et la digitalisation.L’IRC vise également le développement d’initiatives innovatrices par des alliances stratégiques autour des thèmes spécifiques contribuant au développement des deux secteurs (élevage et santé). Il est attendu que le renforcement de capacités individuelles et les initiatives innovatrices puissent avoir un impact sur la performance des acteurs et sur la réalisation des objectifs sectoriels.

Integrating ICT in Teaching and Learning
Dorothy KYAMAZIMA | 21/01/2019
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has increasingly become an integral part of today’s education system and this is mainly because it has the potential to support many education functions such as teaching and learning, research, management and administration. Throughout the month of September 2018, the Teacher Training Education (TTE) Project equipped National Teachers’ Colleges with ICT equipment that is sure to improve teaching and learning within the classroom and provide more access to information for teacher trainees and NTC lecturers. These included: 46 computers, 26 laptops, 11 cameras, 61 tablets and 10 printers. This also included a library kit that comprised of printing and binding machines that were intended to back up the functionality of the library, making them more effective and capable of supporting both teachers and student’s needs. The TTE project in partnership with the Ministry of Education have taken steps aimed at fulfilling the long-awaited gap in relation to the shortages of ICT equipment in the Teachers colleges. The colleges are now in the right direction for enhancing the usage of ICT so as to promote its lecturers and students to fit in the 21st century with ease. Madame Ketra Lugumba the Assistant School Practice Officer at NTC Mubende had this to say. “The advent of Active Teaching and Learning in the colleges in 2014 is now being made a reality as it has received more enforcement particularly with the delivery of ICT equipment. With this, lecturers will be able to integrate ICT in teaching and learning for example in music when teaching ‘pitching’, the computer with a music software can give you the right pitching when going through a music ladder (d r m f s l t d’) and in Professionals Particularly Development Studies subject when teaching Neo colonialism the photographs of Kwame Nkurumah can be up loaded and shown to students to associate with the content being handled. ICT equipment will also ease typing at the college, facilitate easy administration of assignments, use the internet in daily lessons, facilitate self-learning, promote social networking, improved data storage (record keeping) and practical training. It also facilitates research undertakings and assessment, provides rich learning resources at the college with corresponding high outcomes as well as facilitating independent study efforts.” The college lecturers believe that Active Teaching and Learning will be consolidated further and run even more smoothly within the college with the purchase of ICT equipment and that it will produce high outcomes from both the teachers, students and surrounding communities.

Investing in Pedagogical Projects for Teacher Development
Dorothy KYAMAZIMA | 21/01/2019
It has been observed that pedagogy can be enhanced outside the classroom and brought closer through student’s participation and practice in college projects. If the students are to participate in their own development and have a positive impact on the transformation of their communities as they grow, such projects are just the thing to expose them to the right experiences that will prepare them for action at all levels. With projects activities based on group levels, students can participate in different projects on daily basis and improve on their pedagogic skills. National Teachers’ College (NTC)Kabale has embarked on integrating pedagogic projects into their teaching process for the development of teacher practical skills and sustainability. These pedagogical projects include the usage of drip irrigation in farming, preparation of terraces and manufacturing organic manure after harvesting. Through this, students are exposed to practical experiences relevant to improving their skills which is suitable for their education. Students are also empowered to transform their communities by deriving appropriate solutions to community challenges through inculcating creativity and entrepreneurial skills to initiate and manage projects that are economically viable. Students are being taught skills which will transform them into trainers of other students and communities around the college and beyond. They are equipped with field research that can allow them to write research findings from real life practice and usage of scientific procedures. This pedagogic approach will not only contribute to clear understanding of basic research principles but will also in future guide students into opportunities of making professional choices in arts and sciences based on skills attained as well as teaching. It is intended that these projects will be run as enterprises for profit motive, so that the learners leave the college with minds of entrepreneurship, creativity and business innovation. It is expected that the initial capital will sustain the projects and also generate income continuously. The lessons learnt from these projects will enrich student’s knowledge and skills in handling their final examination especially in the area of field work projects and thereafter in teaching.

Active Teaching and Learning Takes Root in National Teachers' Colleges
Dorothy KYAMAZIMA | 21/01/2019
One of the main objectives of the TTE project implemented by Enabel in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Sports is to improve the quality of teacher training by introducing a learner-centered approach to teaching known as the Active Teaching and Learning (ATL). This means that the learning systems shift focus from the teacher to the student and provoke independent reasoning, problem solving and critical thinking. Through ATL, students are more likely to retain a higher percentage of knowledge and skills because they engage with materials, participate in and out of the classroom and exchange information with their peers. School Practice Workshop Every year, National Teachers’ College (NTC) Mubende organizes a school practice workshop which brings together both students and teachers from the college and Partner Secondary Schools with the aim improving teacher education. The recent school practice workshops have focused on reflective discussions on the Continuous and Final School Practice activities, improving professionalism and skills in pedagogy. The school practice workshops initially emerged as a result of the need to develop strategies that recognize the training and preparation of student teachers to apply and perfect the teaching methods and techniques during and after the final school practice. It is also intended to refresh, inspire student teachers and enliven their school practice. This year’s school practice workshop gave room to a little friendly teaching competition that show-cased the skills of the student teachers and assessed their competences in lesson planning, use of teaching and learning resources and ATL methodologies. It is during this competition that student teachers are judged on how they applied Active Teaching and Learning techniques and a prize awarded to the best student teacher. Ms. Rebecca Nalumansi a student of Art and Design at NTC Mubende and prize winner of the recently concluded school practice workshop shares her story. “Before the competitions, we had adequate training from our lecturers and we were also given opportunities to practice through a series of micro-teaching lessons from nearby secondary schools like St. Susan and Christ the King Secondary Schools. Such instances not only developed our confidence but also gave us a chance to make improvements in the practice of teaching”, she said. She also stated that during the planning session for the contest, she considered a number of activities, methods, techniques and assessment modes that enabled active participation for her learners. “I am a better teacher because of the exposure I have had to Active Teaching and Learning methods and this is through the support of Enabel. I plan to be the best teacher always.”
