management. The next phase involved holding district-level consultations for all KINERJA partner regions. These
consultations were in the form of Focus Group Discussions FGD. Consultations were held at the District Health Offices or District Planning Offices, with participants
consisting of health office staff, heads of community health centers, midwives, community health volunteers, community organizations working on health issues, professional
health workers’ organizations, media, and religious figures, traditional figures, and women.
The meetings explored priority maternal and child health issues, including breastfeeding and safe delivery, and identified the community health centers that would be assisted by KINERJA during the
initial phase. The health centers chosen were based on three indicators: health centers that needed service improvements, that were isolated, or that were providing adequate services.
Informal discussions in KINERJA ’s partner districts were also held. Members of the media,
government, legislature, and professional organizations were invited to attend in order to obtain a true idea of the condition of KINERJA
’s partner districts. This information was analysed alongside secondary data related to social, economic, education, and health conditions in the partner districts.
KINERJA staff and IOs worked as initiators, motivators, and facilitators to approach and gain the support of the legislatures, Local Planning Bodies, and decision-makers at the District Health Offices,
as well as community leaders and professional organizations. The MSFs later emerged from these efforts.
The main indicator that measured the commitment of district governments was their willingness to allocate a portion of the district budget to support KINERJA
’s program. The funds allocated are used for activities that support public participation in health care delivery. This creates feelings of local
ownership over the programs and encourages sustainability.
