Improving maternal and neonatal health: Measuring the impact of the PAIMAN project in ten districts in Pakistan—A Summary: Comparing baseline and endline survey findings (2005-2010)
No full textThis is a summary of the Pakistan Initiative for Mothers and Newborns (PAIMAN) project’s endline report. The project interventions fell into two broad areas: 1) health systems upgradation and 2) behavior change communication/community mobilization. The thrust of PAIMAN efforts were aimed at reducing the health risk to mothers and newborns by increasing knowledge of danger signs, risks and birth preparedness and, most importantly, improving antenatal and delivery practices. The report concludes that PAIMAN has had a positive impact on overall maternal and neonatal health indicators; success has been recorded in almost all areas, albeit with varying degrees of coverage and impact. The challenge now is to scale up those interventions that had the greatest impact on maternal and neonatal indicators, and to create the sustainable framework that will allow women and newborns across the country to reap the benefit of the PAIMAN project’s successes
Assessing routine health information system in selected PAIMAN districts by using lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) technique
No full textThe Pakistan Initiative for Mothers and Newborns (PAIMAN) is a five-year project funded by USAID. Its goal is to reduce maternal and newborn mortality in Pakistan through viable initiatives and capacity building of existing programs and structures within health systems and communities to ensure improvements and supportive linkages in the continuum of health care for women from the home to the hospital. PAIMAN is compiling data from three data sources and making efforts to improve the functioning of these Health Information Systems (HISs) for efficient management of health services at the district level through generation of quality data and their continuous use for evidence-based decisionmaking. Assessment of these HISs was carried out to understand the current quality of data and use of information generated so that weaknesses could be identified and appropriate technical assistance given to the districts to improve functioning. Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) was implemented in five districts for two assessment studies. This report depicts the HIS’s assessment applying the LQAS technique and using the PRISM approach, which measures the performance of the routine HIS and analyzes the technical, behavioral, and organizational determinants of that performance
Baseline household survey: Jhelum district
No full textThe Pakistan Initiative for Mothers and Newborns (PAIMAN) is a five-year project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). PAIMAN is committed to assisting the Government of Pakistan in implementing the full spectrum of interventions necessary to address maternal and neonatal health issues. USAID has provided a grant to implement PAIMAN in ten districts of Pakistan’s four provinces. The goal of the project is to reduce maternal, newborn, and child mortality. The project calls for a multipronged and integrated strategic approach combining individual health care with public health and community-based interventions. To ensure that success is properly attained and appropriate lessons are learned, PAIMAN has developed a monitoring and evaluation plan, which includes the establishment of baseline measures for a set of indicators that will be used to evaluate the success of the project. This baseline report explores the level of knowledge of, as well as the attitudes and behaviors toward, maternal and newborn health in Jhelum district

Baseline survey: Summary report of district Buner
No full textThis summary report presents some of the key findings of a 2005 baseline household survey in Buner district, one of the ten districts in Pakistan that are the focus of the PAIMAN project. The Pakistan Initiative for Mothers and Newborns (PAIMAN) is a five-year project funded by the United States Agency for International Development. The project is committed to assisting the Government of Pakistan in implementing the full spectrum of interventions necessary to address maternal and neonatal health (MNH) issues. PAIMAN district survey results are presented individually for each of the ten districts. PAIMAN developed a monitoring and evaluation plan to ensure that the success of the project was properly attained and the appropriate lessons learned. The baseline household survey was conducted to understand local MNH perceptions and practices. The study population included all currently married women of reproductive age living in Buner district

Pengurangan Penggunaan Pupuk Urea Melalui Pemanfaatan Tanaman Turi Mini (Sesbania rostrata) pada Budidaya Jagung Manis
No full textThe use of inorganic fertilizer in agriculture as well as on sweet corn cultivation is quite high. Inorganic fertilizer recommended for sweet corn is 35 kg urea ha-1, 150 kg TSP ha-1 and 150 kg KCl ha-1. Besides high prices, its difficult to find when needed. To overcome this, an experiment was carried out by utilizing TM plants for reducing urea input. This research was carried out in Air Kuti Village, South Lubuklinggau District I, Lubuklinggau City, South Sumatera Province with an altitude of 110 meters above sea level (ASL), from April to June 2017. The experiment was arranged out in a randomized completely block design (RCBD) factorial 4 x 3 and repeated three times. The first factor was treatment combination of inorganic N fertilizer (urea) and TM plants consisted 4 kinds i.e: 75% urea and 1 TM plant, 50% urea and 2 TM plants, 25% urea and 3 TM plants, and 0% urea and 4 TM plants. The second factor was a frequency of urea application consisted of 3 levels i.e: 1-time application 15 days after planted (15 DAP), 2 times application (15 and 30 DAP), and 3 times application (15, 30 and 45 DAP). The results showed that application of urea fertilizer dosage of 25% recommended (108,75 kg urea ha-1) combinated with 3 stem of TM plants produced the best growth and yield of sweet corn. The frequency of urea application 3 times produced the best growth and yield of sweet corn
