SUMMARY Project HOPE is implementing a five-year Child Survival Project aimed at improving the health status of children under five and women of reproductive age in the Department of Jinotega, Nicaragua—with a focus on rural populations, including those working on coffee plantations. The main partners in implementation are: Ministry of Health (MOH) at the Departmental level (SILAIS), Health Centers/Posts, and private sector coffee growers. Specific program health interventions and level of effort include: maternal and newborn care (30%), nutrition/micronutrient deficiencies (13%), breastfeeding promotion (10%), control of diarrheal disease (15%), pneumonia case management (10%), immunization (7%), child spacing (10%), and HIV/AIDS/STIs (5%). The proposed interventions are being implemented in accordance with Nicaragua’s PROCOSAN initiative, a program based on community growth monitoring sessions as an opportunity for incorporating IMCI. Other MOH programs being implemented include community-based family planning, Maternal Newborn Care; and the newly introduced supervisory system for health facilities. Key strategies include: § building the service-delivery capacity of health facilities and improving the quality of care; § strengthening cooperation among public, private and community stakeholders; § empowering consumers, particularly women, to take greater responsibility for personal and family health maintenance decisions; § improving timely care- seeking behaviors, through recognition of danger signs, system of referral and counter-referral, and the formation of emergency committees; § improving the knowledge and skills at the community level by strengthening the work of Brigadistas and TBAs and strengthening of the Community Information System. The target population includes the entire population of Jinotega department due to the project focus on strengthening the SILAIS and all health units within the department. The population includes 62,451 children under five and 67,461 women of reproductive age (129,912 total beneficiaries). The MOH and CSP selected 80 priority communities where the project provides more direct support, but all HC/HP staff has been involved in institutional strengthening activities The main accomplishments during the first half of the project were: § Support to ongoing or newly introduced MOH programs in child health, maternal health, quality improvement, and family planning; § Provision of logistical support (transportation), materials, and medicines; § Monthly or bimonthly meetings as linkage between MOH and community; § Improved access to health services, by working in isolated communities § Training for Brigadistas, TBAs, community committees and MOH staff; 368 Brigadistas had attended at least one training event and 234 TBAs had attended at least one training event § A KPC Survey was conducted as part of the mid term evaluation and showed an increase in vaccination coverage, use of modern family planning methods, improved knowledge of prevention of HIV/AIDS and improved care seeking during diarrhea; § Committees for emergency transportation during obstetrical emergencies have been formed in 63 communities with 104 committee members trained in the formation of emergency 1 brigades, collecting funds to help cover medical emergencies, recognition of danger signs, etc. § PROCOSAN has been implemented in 76 priority communities, selected by the MOH. § Community based child spacing has been established in 36 of the 80 priority communities, plus an additional 22 communities selected by the CSP and MOH (total 58), with trained counselors who distribute some contraceptive methods in the communities. Project records show there are 49 counselors in the 80 priority communities and 27 counselors in other communities. § The CSP is supporting, through training, materials and supervision, the implementation of the official national MOH program for Maternal Newborn Care in 58 of the 80 priority communities plus five additional communities § A qualitative study was carried out by HOPE/MOH on maternal preferences for home vs. institutional birth. § The Humanitarian Assistance Program provided donations of pharmaceutical products. The national donation level during the life of this project has been 9.5 million dollars, 2.77 million of that going to Jinotega The project however has some weaknesses which need to be addressed: § No monitoring of process indicators; § Deviation from M&E plan due to misunderstanding of the use of some instruments and introduction of SIGHOPE; § Lack of follow-up on the CSTS Sustainability Framework and HOPE Nicaragua Institutional Assessment. § Greater emphasis on the use of information for decision making Priority Recommendations § The institutional assessment for HOPE Nicaragua should be revived and the original work plan reviewed, implemented and monitored. § An institutional assessment should also be conducted with SILAIS to identify specific actions for capacity building based on the needs of SILAIS. § Develop a sustainability plan based on the work started with the CSSA model, including planning with communities, based on the use of local resources for problem solving. § Strengthen analytical abilities in the communities, Brigadistas, TBAs, MOH and HOPE staff. The CSP staff and partners will develop a revised work plan as part of the MTE process according to the following schedule. June 1 – 10 - MTE report and Chapters A& E of the DIP translated into Spanish; - Develop guides regarding work to be done by CSP and partners in preparation for writing the work plan and revised DIP June 13 – July 15 - CSP team follows guides to study the MTE recommendations and begin writing work plan and revised DIP - Develops

  • Central America Weather Hazards and Benefits Assessment
    The MFEWS Central America Weather Hazards and Benefits Assessment For May 22 – May 28, 2008 1) Many localized areas of the Limon and Heredia provinces of Costa Rica, as well as the San Juan and Atlantic departments of Nicaragua are experiencing a 3-4 dekad late start to the Primera rains. In addition to a below-normal Apante season, the current lack of rainfall has affected April bean harvests, as well as emerging rice and maize crops. Hazards Assessment Text Explanation: Large scale ridging and dry air transport have resulted in the suppression of significant rainfall for much of Central America in the last seven days. The heaviest rainfall totals during the last observation period remained along the Pacific side of Central America, with totals ranging from 30 – 50 mm in the southern highlands of Guatemala and coastal areas near the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica. In El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, little to no rainfall accumulation in the last week has resulted in a continued delayed start of the Primera season in many areas, as precipitation totals have continued to drop further below normal. The Limon and Heredia provinces of Costa Rica, as well as, the Atlantic departments of Nicaragua near the San Juan River, have experienced the worst of the dryness as decreased soil water along the Costa Rica / Nicaragua border may impede the development of bean, rice, and sorghum crops over the next several weeks. Soil moisture deficits have also been felt in localized areas of the Chiriqui province in Panama due to the weak Primera rains.

    Managua, 05 de febrero del 2015. Licenciada Alba Palacios Benavidez Primer Secretaria Asamblea Nacional Su Despacho. Estimada Primer Secretaria: El suscrito Diputado ante la Asamblea Nacional, con fundamentos en los artículos 138, numeral 14 y 140 numeral 1, ambos de la Constitución Política de la República y de los artículos 14, numeral. 2, 33 numeral 36, 93 inciso e, 102 y 103 de la Ley Orgánica del Poder Legislativo con sus reformas incorporadas, publicada en la Gaceta N° 21 del dos de febrero del año 2015, presento la Iniciativa de Ley “Declarando Heroína Nacional de la Republica de Nicaragua a Blanca Stella Arauz Pineda”, para que sea tramitada de conformidad a la Ley. Acompaño a la presente Exposición de Motivos, Biografía de la Heroína Nacional, referencia de los documentos históricos que validan la propuesta, Fundamentación y el Decreto Legislativo, con el debido soporte electrónico y original y copias correspondientes. Sin más a que referirme y en espera de su atención, le saludo Atentamente, Msc. Edwin Castro Rivera Diputado Coordinador Bancada FSLN ASAMBLEA NACIONAL Cc.: Archivo EXPOSICION DE MOTIVOS Ingeniero René Núñez Téllez Presidente Asamblea Nacional Su Despacho. Estimado Compañero Presidente: La política, en su definición más generalizada pero más restringida, se aplica a las relaciones y actividades que establecen y practican los estados y gobiernos en el entramado de sus instituciones, representaciones y asociaciones en procura y ejercicio de poder en la esfera de la vida pública. Esta generalización del término y acepción de política tiene consecuencias de exclusión que afectan, de manera particular, a las mujeres que en nuestro país no tuvieron derecho al voto para escoger a las autoridades del ámbito público ni ser electas representantes del pueblo hasta mediados del siglo 20; fue en la Constitución de 1950, en su reforma del año 1955, que ese derecho se hizo realidad.

  • Climate Prediction Center's Central America Hazards Outlook June 12
    Climate Prediction Center’s Central America Hazards Outlook June 12 – June 18, 2014 Torrential rains due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Boris caused flooding across Guatemala. 3) Extended dry spells and below- average rains have led to substantial 1) Above-average rains over the past seasonal rainfall deficits and poor several weeks have led to high moisture ground conditions in southern Honduras surpluses across much of Guatemala. The and the Chinandega, Madriz and Nueva heavy rains have already caused Segovia and Estelí departments of landslides in the Huehuetenango northern Nicaragua. The drought department and elevated river levels conditions have negatively impacted throughout Guatemala.
