The Specific Objectives
Specifically, the formative work entails:

• Reviews of secondary data from health information systems: extract and analyze data from relevant health information systems at the national and sub-national levels (local DHIS or HMIS systems) to capture population size, rates of facility deliveries, birth rates and related mortality rates, and caesarian section rates.
• Key informant interviews: (approximately 10 per country) will be conducted with partner program managers and supervisors, MoH representatives, and other stakeholders to capture their perceptions of and experiences with how well referral pathways are operating, and suspected barriers and facilitators to careseeking and referral adherence.
• Health facility assessments: conducted at BEmONC level, and CEmONC level facilities when feasible, to capture facility readiness.
