Intervention(s)
The CODES intervention package, which combines implementation of district-level diagnostic, management and evaluation tools, is evaluated for effect via a cluster randomized trial with eight districts as intervention and eight as comparison. Differences at a 2 year endline survey and changes between baseline and endline surveys in key child survival quality coverage indicators amongst target populations in the overall intervention and control districts will be compared. Implementation of the CODES intervention and all data collection is by the responsible local districts teams and/or local CBO who are supported in the supply and demand side implementation by two local NGOs. Additional information related to level of implementation of the CODES package and contextual factors in each district is obtained based on reports from the local NGOs supporting the districts in the implementation activities as well as the from qualitative information solicited from the district. Analytical evaluation of the trial, the associated contextual factors and lessons learned is conducted by Makaerere University and Karolinka Institutet
