Independent Monitoring, Evaluation and Data Analysis
IMPACT Initiatives
In the context of Yemen, where data collection and analysis processes face extensive barriers, REACH has identified humanitarian coordination actors – primarily the Cluster system – as the most effective means to build capacity and unblock administrative barriers to these processes. By working within the Cluster system, REACH is able to directly liaise with dozens of NNGO, INGO, and UN partners to enhance and harmonize data collection, analysis, and utilization processes, in line with Goal 5 of the Grand Bargain. In working with a wide variety of partners within a recognized coordination structure, REACH ensures a broad impact across the humanitarian response, building the capacity of partners to collect and utilize data. In addition, enhancing the capacity of coordination partners to facilitate data collection and analysis creates a higher level of buy-in from Cluster and Working Group partners, ensuring increased levels of collaboration. In this way, REACH seeks to achieve long-term, sustainable change within the Yemen humanitarian system, and ensure robust, evidence-based planning at all levels of the response.

Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL) - Learning, Evidencing and Advocacy Partnership (LEAP)
ICF Consulting Services Limited
Nigeria’s ability to deliver shared growth and poverty reduction, and to tackle problems of insecurity and falling oil prices depends to a large extent on the performance of its public sector and the accountability of government towards citizens. However, they are undermined by a deeply-embedded set of problems that are rooted in Nigeria’s institutions and political economy. PERL has been designed by DFID Nigeria to tackle these problems in an integrated manner through three Pillars. One of the critical problems, which is the focus of the third Pillar, is the weakness of evidence on what is required to deliver public sector reform (PSR) and accountability. Although the broad parameters of Nigeria’s political economy problems are well understood, there is insufficient evidence on what is required to deliver PSR and strengthen public accountability. ICF is providing services to strengthen processes of learning on what works and what does not work in delivering PSR, using these lessons as part of a broader strategy to influence political leaders and national debate on the steps Nigeria would need to take to promote reform. LEAP works to strengthen the evidence base for reform by creating demand for, generating and encouraging the use of evidence to inform discussion and decision-making on public sector reform.

The impact of microbial and inflammatory exposures on birth outcomes in rural Zimbabwe
UK - Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
One in seven babies in Africa are born with low birthweight, either because they are born too small (small-for-gestational age; SGA) or born too soon (preterm). Babies born SGA or preterm have a higher risk of dying, and do not grow as well in early life, leading to a higher risk of malnutrition. The most common form of malnutrition (stunting) affects health into adulthood, reduces learning at school, and lowers earning potential. To reduce child deaths and improve health, growth and prosperity throughout life, it is essential to improve birthweight. To do this, we need to understand the processes during pregnancy that lead to SGA and preterm. The fetus depends on a delicate balance of processes to grow properly and be delivered on time. Infections during pregnancy, and activation of the body's defence system to tackle infections (called inflammation) may disturb these processes, leading to SGA and preterm birth. Mothers with sexually transmitted infections, urinary tract infections, gum disease or diarrhoea during pregnancy have a higher risk of SGA and preterm birth. Inflammation can also occur even when a pregnant woman is not sick with an infection. There are trillions of bacteria in the body, called the microbiome, which generally do not cause disease. However, a change in composition of the microbiome can cause inflammation. Unbalanced vaginal, oral and gut microbiomes in pregnant mothers have all been associated with SGA and preterm birth, although most of these studies have been done in high-income countries. It is unclear whether and how disturbed microbiomes cause inflammation, SGA and preterm birth in Africa. We believe that taking antibiotics in pregnancy could improve birth outcomes by reducing harmful infections and inflammation. In order to test this, we will take advantage of an existing trial examining whether a daily antibiotic (called cotrimoxazole) during pregnancy can increase birthweight. We previously found that this antibiotic reduces inflammation as well as preventing infections. During the new study, 1000 women in rural Zimbabwe will receive either cotrimoxazole or placebo from the time they first book their pregnancy at the local clinic up until birth. The treatment will be decided randomly, like the flip of a coin. During pregnancy, oral samples (tongue swabs, dental plaque, saliva), vaginal swabs, stool, urine and blood will be collected from all mothers when they book and at 26, 34 and 36 weeks into pregnancy. Our first aim is to see whether infections and inflammation during pregnancy are associated with SGA and preterm birth. Women will be examined by a dentist to check their oral health and be tested for sexually transmitted infections, urine infections and diarrhoea, with treatment provided if needed. Using the oral, vaginal and stool samples collected from booking and the end of pregnancy, we will study the microbiome and inflammation to see if they are linked to SGA and preterm birth. Our second aim is to compare the microbiome and inflammation in 100 women receiving the antibiotic and 100 women receiving placebo. We will see whether cotrimoxazole reduces inflammation, infections, or changes the microbiome during pregnancy. We will also test whether bacteria become resistant to the antibiotic. Our third aim is to see what effect maternal antibiotics have on the baby. We will collect samples of the placenta, blood and stool at birth, and collect stool and blood again when they are 4 weeks old, to compare infections, microbiome and inflammation in babies whose mothers received antibiotics or placebo in pregnancy. Through this project, we hope to understand whether infections, microbiome disturbances and inflammation during pregnancy cause SGA and preterm birth, and exactly how the antibiotic works (if at all). This is important, because we may be able to design new treatments that can be given during pregnancy to help babies grow better and be born on time.

Humanitarian Information Systems - Strengthening evidence-based decision making in South Sudan – HARISS Programme
IMPACT Initiatives
In the context of a widening and deepening humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, with needs escalating both in severity and geographic scale, effective aid prioritization has become an urgent priority. The IPC from October 2018 estimated 59% of South Sudan’s population to face crisis, emergency and catastrophic food insecurity, which makes evidence-based targeting of existing funds a critical necessity to save lives potentially at risk. At the same time, the dynamic and multi-faceted nature of the South Sudan crisis has created significant challenges for humanitarian information management. Accessibility and security issues within South Sudan have impeded systematic direct data collection efforts – limiting the ability to monitor needs and therefore provide timely information for effective targeting inside the country. As a result, it is becoming increasingly important to adopt adaptive and innovative approaches to filling information gaps in a systematic manner to promote more effective humanitarian response and planning. Activities proposed under 4.5 work to both fill these information gaps, synthesize the information into useful and relevant products and feed them into the humanitarian system, as outlined in the Institutional Framework .
