1 BACKGROUND
In 2010, the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) was one of the first countries in the world to join the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement – a global movement uniting governments, civil society, businesses, and citizens in a worldwide effort to end under-nutrition. SUN Zambia aims to improve child nutritional status by emphasizing a Box 1. Line Ministries under the SUN Programme decrease in Zambia’s critically high rate of 1.

The National Food and Nutrition Commission (NFNC) coordinates the efforts of the seven GRZ line-ministries (Box 1) involved in implementing the programme.
The USAID/Zambia-funded Scaling Up Nutrition Learning and Evaluation (SUN LE) project provides survey, research, evaluation, and dissemination services to the GRZ’s SUN programme in 30 districts. Through these services, SUN LE aims to support the improvement of SUN 2.0 implementation processes, adaptive and participatory management, and knowledge systems.

events, such as annual national dissemination and learning conferences and annual provincial / district dissemination and learning workshops.
At provincial / district levels, SUN LE with GRZ staff disseminate research and survey findings to the 30 priority SUN 2.0 districts so as to increase the capacity of nutrition programme managers in using data for decision making and nutrition programme planning. Moreover, SUN LE efforts to build a learning culture at district level is done in collaboration with the USAID-funded Scaling up Nutrition Technical Assistance (SUN TA) project which currently implements SUN 2.0 in 13 districts; UNICEF, which implements in 17 districts; and GIZ which implements in two districts.
This report details the 2019 district data-use orientation meetings conducted by SUN LE in collaboration with NFNC. The two-day orientation meetings were conducted between 11 November and 18 December 2019 in the country’s provincial centres (except for Muchinga Province where the orientation had to be held in Mpika, another town in the province, as no suitable venue was available in Box 3. Broad Terms of Reference for the the provincial centre at the time) (Annex 1). DNCCs The orientation package was jointly designed Undertake assessments/gap analyses by SUN LE and NFNC staff. to inform the district interventions and plans. 2 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF Develop district multi-sectoral plans based on information from the gap THE 2019 MEETINGS analyses and other sources of information. The purpose of the SUN LE Year 1 (i.e. 2019) Facilitate the implementation of the meetings was to orient district teams on the multi-sectoral plan at district, sub guiding principles and tools for using data in district, and community levels. planning and decision making. Provide updates on progress to provincial and national levels. These meetings largely focused on laying the groundwork for future, more comprehensive data use meetings by introducing required tools and skills that district staff will use to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate data use interventions. Ideally, the increased capacity of district staff to use data in planning will improve the quality of decision making and translate into a culture of data use and adaptive management, which in turn will lead to improved quality of nutrition programme management and implementation.
3 APPROACHES
3.1 TARGETED PARTICIPANTS
The two-day 2019 district data use orientation meetings targeted members of the District Nutrition Coordination Committees (DNCCs) in each of the 30 districts. DNCCs are comprised of district-level GRZ staff from the following ministries: Health; Water
District Data Use Orientation Meetings (2019) – Report P a g e | 7
Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection; Agriculture; Fisheries and Livestock; Community Development and Social Services; Chiefs and Traditional Affairs; Local Government; and General Education. They also include staff from non- governmental organizations that support the implementation of SUN 2.0 interventions in that district. The DNCCs were specially targeted because of their strategic responsibilities in coordinating the SUN 2.0 programme in their districts (Box 3).
District teams were grouped by province, so that districts from the same province were oriented as a group. This grouping was cost effective and designed to allow district teams to begin to work with their provincial leaders, who had previously been trained by SUN LE to mentor and coach them. A total of eight groups were formed (see Annex 1).
The provincial teams, together with district administration officers (who lead DNCCs), carried out the selection of district-level participants. Individuals were invited to participate in the meetings if they worked at the district level and met the following criteria:
Member of the DNCC;
Directly involved in leading, planning, and implementing SUN interventions; and
Involved in overseeing the monitoring of nutrition interventions in their respective districts.
3.2 SCOPE AND ORGANIZATION
3.2.1 DATE AND LOCATION
The two-day 2019 district data use orientation meetings were conducted from 11 November through 18 December 2019 in provincial centres of Zambia. Each meeting included representatives from SUN 2.0 priority districts in the respective province (Annex 1).
3.2.2 TOPICS AND AGENDA
The orientation meetings covered seven major topics. These included: facilitation basics, using data to inform policies and progress, determinants of data use, data and information flow, linking data with action, coaching teams in data use, and facilitating data use meetings. Annex 2 provides more detail on the timing and duration of the various sessions.
3.2.3 FACILITATION
Staff from SUN LE, NFNC, and two line-ministries (Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection and Ministry of Agriculture) facilitated the meetings (Table 1). Other ministries were unavailable to participate due to competing
District Data Use Orientation Meetings (2019) – Report P a g e | 8
demands.

3.2.4 DAILY ASSESSMENTS
At the end of each orientation day, participants were given a questionnaire to provide feedback on that day’s sessions (see Annex 4). The daily feedback helped identify some important areas that required further clarification and improvement during the course of the orientation meetings. Facilitators used the feedback to make changes to delivery approaches and to revisit some topics.
3.2.5 LEARNING METHODS
The orientation meetings employed a combination of learning approaches, including lectures and presentations, group work, role playing, and discussions.
LECTURES AND PRESENTATIONS
Lectures and presentations were used as the main mode of delivery for the orientation package and were designed to facilitate the acquisition of key concepts by participants. Training materials and methods were adapted from the MEASURE Evaluation Data Demand and Use Strategy2. The trainers used PowerPoint presentations, lecture notes, illustrations, and graphic presentations of learning materials. Participants were provided with printed copies of the materials for easy reference during and post- training.

GROUP ACTIVITIES Figure 1. Participant Reporting Back Following The orientation meeting used small District Group Activity and large group activities and exercises to maximise participation, active learning, and practice in using data. Participants were given group exercises based on scenarios and situations and asked to engage in role plays, review key concepts, or create illustrations in terms of their work environments, and report back to plenary. This helped achieve learning through practice.
3.2.6 MATERIALS
An orientation package was prepared for participants for their reference in future data use activities. The package provided materials on facilitating data use meetings as well as procedures for improving and institutionalising data use in planning and decision making for SUN 2.0 implementation (see Annex 2 for the orientation programme). Key modules of the orientation package included the following:
Facilitation basics: This session included discussions on how to plan for and facilitate data use meetings, including strategies for addressing difficult issues and managing group dynamics. Participants learned how to conduct participatory and effective data use meetings. Using data to inform policies and programmes: This session focused on the importance and value of data in programme monitoring and improvement. Specifically, the session took participants through the decision-making process and demonstrated how data can be used to influence decision making at all levels. Determinants of data use: The session focused on identifying barriers and constraints that inhibit effective practices in data use, including organisational constraints (where systematic processes are inadequate for sharing data in a way that promotes evidence-based decision making), technical constraints (in data collection and computer/technological shortages), and individual constraints. Information Use Mapping: This session focused on identifying how information flows from the point of collection to the various points where it is used along the hierarchy. The major tool discussed was the Information Use Map, which helps assess the status and identify opportunities for improved data use and feedback mechanisms across different decision-making levels. It provides a visual context for gaps and weaknesses in data sharing, leading to course correction and improvements.
District Data Use Orientation Meetings (2019) – Report P a g e | 10
Linking data to action: This session exposed participants to the Framework for Linking Data with Action (FLDA)3, a tool that helps programme managers and policy makers systematically link data resources to the decisions they support. This makes it easy to demonstrate that decisions were based on evidence and show the sources of the evidence. It also helps managers identify information gaps and address those gaps by creating data resources where these do not exist. Coaching teams in data use: Because district officers are very involved in coaching and mentoring sub-district offices, the workshops provided guidelines on coaching in data use. This session included strategies on how to incorporate coaching in a busy day and how to execute and follow through on plans that have been developed to facilitate data use.
3.2.7 MANAGEMENT OF THE MEETINGS
Administrative and logistical support for the orientation meetings was undertaken by the SUN LE project in collaboration with NFNC. NFNC led meeting preparations, including the selection of participants and issuing invitations. SUN LE provided logistics for the meetings, including provision of per diems, training materials, and transport refunds for participants.
4 MEETING OUTPUTS
The main outputs (i.e. deliverables) for the district data use orientation meetings were:
1. GRZ District SUN Officers oriented in data use tools. A total of 253 GRZ SUN officers were oriented to data use concepts and tools.
2. Draft district situation analyses and action plans. As part of the orientation, districts developed district-specific situation analyses and corresponding action plans for improving data quality and use around nutrition (see Section 4.3 for examples).
4.1 PARTICIPATION
The district orientation meetings were meant to target individuals located in all 30 SUN 2.0 districts. However, only 24 districts had established DNCCs by late 2019. Of these, one district (Chibombo in Central province) was unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts.
Across the 23 districts, a total of 255 GRZ district officers (an average of 11 per district) participated – representing 94.8% of all target participants (Table 2). Eight staff from SUN TA, three staff from GIZ, and two staff from Care International also participated in the meetings. Participants were predominantly male (76% of all participants). A

participant list is presented in Annex 6.
GRZ participants came from different ministries and departments, demonstrating the multi-sectoral nature of the SUN programme (Figure 2). The Ministry of Health had the largest representation, followed by the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services; the lowest representation was from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Six (6) provincial officers also participated and co-facilitated the meetings: 3 from Luapula, 1 participant each from Southern, Western, and Muchinga province.

4.2 OUTCOMES / RESULTS
4.2.1 IMMEDIATE OUTCOMES
The meetings’ intended immediate outcomes were to build the skills of district participants in using specific tools for assessing data flow and data use:
District teams use systematic tool to analyse sector information flow. The
District Data Use Orientation Meetings (2019) – Report P a g e | 13
orientation introduced Figure 3. Example - Information Use Map district SUN managers to concepts and tools for systematically evaluating the information flow in their sectors and how that impacts data quality and use. The Information Use Map tool (Figure 3) lists the functional data flow processes (i.e. data collection, compilation, storage, analysis, reporting, and use) in columns, with the rows depicting the levels of operation (i.e. community, facility, district, province, and national levels). In using this tool, each sector was able to define their information flow from the lowest to the highest levels, systematically identify challenges and gaps in the data flow, and identify potential interventions for addressing the challenges and gaps.
By the end of the meeting, participants were able to identify barriers to information use and identify how elements along the information flow affect information use. The immediate results were that districts were able to use the tool to assess information flow in their various sectors and propose appropriate interventions to address issues.
District teams use standard tool to link programme action and decisions to data resources. Participants were Figure 4. Frame for Linking Data with Action introduced to the FLDA data use tool3. This tool is used to systematically link programme actions to specific data resources and evidence, and to assist in prioritising programme questions, mapping them to evidence, and devising with programme decisions and actions based on that evidence (Figure 4). Participants were asked to complete the tool for their specific sector.
By increasing capacity to systematically use data in decision making, it is expected that district managers will design better interventions, choose appropriate programme activities, and better adapt programmes based on new evidence. SUN LE hopes that this tool will be used when districts engage in planning activities.
The long-term use of both tools will be measured during the course of the project.
District Data Use Orientation Meetings (2019) – Report P a g e | 14
4.2.2 LONG-TERM OUTCOMES
Over the long-term, SUN LE intends that districts continuously use the tools to analyse their information flows and periodically make necessary adjustments, as well as link their actions to evidence for better programme management and ultimately achievement of SUN programme results (reduction in stunting among children under 2 years).
4.3 HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ORIENTATION MEETINGS
The orientation meetings were conducted successfully in all the groups of districts. The meetings were conducted according to the topics listed in Annex 2 and the daily programme (Annex 3). Districts developed different outputs in group activities according to the topic.
The following provides examples of outputs for Topics 3, 4, and 5. Topics 1, 2, 6, and 7 were discussion based.
4.3.1 TOPIC 3: DETERMINANTS OF DATA USE
Under this topic, districts were taken through key factors that determine data use at different levels of implementation, after which teams were tasked with identifying barriers to data use and suggesting possible solutions. Across the orientation meetings, the major barrier that stood out was the absence of a systematic approach to data use. Table 3 summarises the highlighted barriers and corresponding interventions:
Table 3. Barriers to Data Use and Proposed Solutions for Improving Data Use
Barrier Proposed Solution
Omitting data use activities Include data use activities in district plans from district plans
Not budgeting for data use Integrate data use with other planned activities activities Include data use activities in district plans
Lack of skills in data use Build capacity in data use at all levels
Poor quality data (incomplete, Hold regular orientations and training of officers who collect data inaccurate, or late reporting) Conduct regular data review meetings with officers who collect data
High turnover of staff Conduct regular data use orientations of new staff as they come on board
Late submission of reports Address barriers leading to late submission of reports (e.g. lack of transport, internet issues)

4.3.2 TOPIC 4: DATA AND INFORMATION FLOW — INFORMATION USE MAP
Participants were tasked with laying out the flow of nutrition information in their respective ministries, identifying challenges to improved data production and use, and proposing interventions. Table 4 shows an example of what was highlighted from the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) group in Kalomo district.

As shown in Table 4, teams were able to use the Information Use Map to identify challenges at different levels (community and district levels) and by functional areas (data collection, compilation, analysis, reporting, and use).
Some proposed solutions for improving data use include giving district officers access to pre-programmed dashboards and guidance on how to interpret them. In addition to district dashboards, major recommended actions included providing training in conducting additional analysis and scheduling district-wide data use meetings.
4.3.3 TOPIC 5: LINKING DATA TO ACTION
‘Linking data to action’ was a principal topic during the data use orientation meetings. The objectives under this topic were to: (1) identify and prioritise decisions and programme questions, (2) link decisions and questions with sources of data, and (3) create a time-bound plan for using data in decision making.
During this session, participants were introduced to the concepts of decisions, decision makers, and the FLDA. Participants were required to identify critical questions for which they require answers to develop high-impact interventions. Table 5 provides an example of outputs from a team in Mwinilunga district.

5 CHALLENGES
The implementation of the district data use orientation meetings experienced a few challenges:
Delays in completing group work. Group work took longer than planned and extended the duration of the meetings to late hours. In some cases, these delays affected the time spent on other topics. The meeting schedule and time allocated assumed that districts were already aware of the issues required to complete the
District Data Use Orientation Meetings (2019) – Report P a g e | 18
group work (e.g. aware of challenges to data use, challenges and possible interventions to improve information flow), but that was not the case. To deal with this challenge, facilitators enhanced participation in group sessions, helping with assignment understanding and guiding discussion. This helped to reduce the time taken by the district teams to understand their assignments and also to get clarification when they were stuck.
Poor participation from SUN LE-trained provincial officers to serve as mentors/coaches. The design of the district data use orientation meetings was premised on provincial officers providing ongoing mentorship and coaching of district teams in data use, including leading the district data use meetings. However, of the 26 provincial officers trained as coaches in June 2019, only 6 (23%) participated in the November-December district orientation meetings. Some who failed to participate cited competing priorities owing to the fact that the meetings were planned around the period when provinces were busy trying to conclude year- end activities.
6 LESSONS LEARNT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
For data use to be established and sustained at Box 4. Key Recommendations the district level, there is a need to include, as The planning template should include a part of the district planning form/template, a field to show evidence that informed the field that requires districts to demonstrate what selection of programme activities. data or other evidence was considered or used Interventions to improve the culture of data use should target all levels of during the planning process. decision-making - at community, facility, and district levels.

Interventions to improve their activities accordingly. the culture of data use in decision-making Meetings should be scheduled during should target all levels where decisions are the first three quarters of the year when teams are less busy and not during the made - at community, facility, and district planning and year-end periods. levels. This is because each level has unique challenges that affect data use, and which in turn affect data use at the next higher level. Therefore, a multi-level and comprehensive approach to improving data use would have a higher potential for success. Strong collaboration among partners will also help achieve this goal.
To address delays in completing group work, SUN LE recommends at least two
District Data Use Orientation Meetings (2019) – Report P a g e | 19
dedicated facilitators be assigned for each meeting. Two facilitators would be better able to provide the required support to the districts in their group assignments. It is too difficult for one facilitator to give the required attention to each district, if alone. SUN LE learnt that districts were able to complete their group work in a timely manner when they received adequate support and guidance from facilitators.
SUN LE further recommends that in order to have full participation from provincial GRZ officers, all planning for upcoming district meetings should involve provincial officers from the start. This would enable them to plan the district data use meetings around their other scheduled activities and thus avoid programme clashes. Further, SUN LE has learnt that the project activities should be scheduled before the GRZ planning meetings (early in the calendar year) and not in the last quarter of the year when officers are busy concluding their workplan activities.
7 NEXT STEPS
In early 2020, SUN LE will disseminate the MCDP II baseline survey findings to the same district teams so they can use the findings in their SUN 2.0 district planning exercises, using the tools introduced during the 2019 district data use orientation meetings.
In 2020, SUN LE will also conduct the orientation meetings for the seven districts (Lusaka, Chibombo, Kabwe, Ndola, Kitwe, Kaoma and Solwezi) that did not participate in the 2019 meetings.
