Briefly describe any significant highlights/accomplishments that took place during this reporting period. Please limit your comments to a maximum of 4 to 6 sentences. • Following the gaps that were identified during the routine TA visits to the districts in the first and second quarters, MCSP engaged the districts in the supported provinces in revising their 2018 annual workplans and budgets based on the data (scorecards) and service quality assessment (SQA) findings. Using these tools, MCSP influenced the inclusion of appropriate high-impact interventions (HIIs) to respond to identified gaps in the revised workplans and recommended the allocation of resources in an equitable manner. Consequently, Districts revised the 2018 CoC plans to incorporate these recommendations and identified interventions that would be included in the 2019 plans in all provinces. Additional details are provided in the provincial report annexes. • MCSP provided technical assistance (TA) during the provincial integrated management meeting (PIM) across all of the four target provinces. These meetings provided an opportunity for MCSP to identify areas requiring TA in a context-specific and responsive manner to the needs of each district. MCSP contributed to discussions in those meetings by making on-the-spot recommendations for improving specific indicators. For example, using a very brief role play, MCSP graphically showed districts a simple way of estimating the number of new FP acceptors.
