five-year (2013–2018) MindanaoHealth (MH) Project, a United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded project, is primed by Jhpiego in partnership with RTI International. The project’s goal is to improve family health by dramatically increasing the quality and uptake of integrated maternal, newborn, and child health and nutrition/family planning (MNCHN/FP) services at the household level, in communities, and at public and private health facilities, thereby resulting in improved child health and nutrition, reduced maternal and infant deaths, and decreased unmet need for FP services—especially among Mindanao’s lowest wealth quintiles and in conflict-affected areas. The project actively works and collaborates with the Department of Health (DOH)-led scale-up of high-impact services and client-centered information for Mindanao, the southernmost of the three island groups in the Philippines. MH works directly with five DOH-regional health offices (RHOs) of Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN, and CARAGA as well as the DOH for the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The MH partnership involves local government units (LGUs) (provincial/municipal/city/barangays) in 19 provinces, two cities, and 366 municipalities and component cities. Building on the commitment of the DOH, MH made key achievements during the quarter from April 1 to June 30,, 2016: • Accomplished a promising increase in couple years of protection (CYP) from previous quarters especially on fixed provision of PPIUD and the re-introduction of LARC/PSI (both fixed and outreach) through the private sector; however, these FP interventions need to be accelerated to reach the Program Year (PY) 4 target. • Increased family planning (FP) current users (CU) from the previous quarter, with the exception of a few provinces and cities in Zamboanga Peninsula, Davao Region and ARMM. • Grew the network of service delivery points (SDPs) providing FP/reproductive health (RH) services from 535 as of the end of PY3 to 622, representing 96% of the PY4 target. • Achieved a slight increase in the number of women provided information on exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). • Scaled up the implementation of data quality checks (DQCs) in 61 LGUs of Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao and SOCCKSARGEN Regions during the quarter bringing the total to139 LGUs, equivalent to 52% of the PY4 target. • Expanded the number of SDPs providing adolescent and youth reproductive health (AYRH) services. The number of hospitals and RHUs with established Center for Teens increased from 1 as of the end of PY3 to 25 as of the end of this reporting period. For the same period, Adolescent Job Aides (AJA) training expanded in 4 provinces (Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Lanao del Norte and Misamis Oriental, with 122
