Key Lessons• Community driven responses involving policy makers yield far
reaching results. Distribution of referral tools that could be tracked up to the health center point strengthened the programme M&E.
• CBVs remain critical in community mobilisation, and demand creation for increased uptake of MNCH services
• Involving Traditional leaders remain key entry point to addressing cultural practices that negatively affect uptake of services
• The Cascade Model is an effective model for capacity development
• Using Multiple strategies which are mutually re-enforcing is critical
