4. TEAM BUILDING AND PLANNING Like any community-based effort, CAPA is best implemented through collaborative efforts of all stakeholders. Program success depends on the joint actions and commitment of multisectoral groups at the State level as well as within the LGA. Consistent participation of providers, government representatives, and community members in strategic planning efforts, education and enlightenment, and in monitoring of initiatives should be pursued as multi-sectoral team efforts. For the purpose of this handbook, the State and local team building and planning are reviewed separately, but in reality, most of the activities are implemented simultaneously and are inter-coordinated. Experience showed that activities could be implemented in an integrated manner, provided that all resources were available. STATE TEAM BUILDING AND PLANNING Apart from the lead ministry, which is the State Ministry of Health (SMOH), several additional ministries and government agencies are encouraged to provide representatives to the Multi- Sectoral Group. These include the Ministries of: Information; Women’s Affairs and Youth Development; Education; and Agricultural and Rural Development. Also included are the National Orientation Agency and the Agriculture Development Project, as well as selected State and local non-government organizations (NGOs), and the project staff of the donor agency. This is referred to as the State Team. Each ministry designates representatives to serve as permanent contacts and liaison between the Health Ministry and their respective ministries. The Director of PHC/DC should write a letter to each parent ministry requesting that the representative be released to serve on the State Team as needed. OBJECTIVE: To develop commitment and build capacity of State staff to implement and support CAPA. TASKS: ■ ■ ■ SMOH contacts heads of the multi-sectoral organizations and agencies to nominate permanent members of the State Team. SMOH and all multi-sectoral ministries, parastatals and agencies identify and nominate members of the State Team. SMOH convenes the first State Team Meeting to discuss project implementation in detail. 9
