The Cameroon Kangaroo Mother Care DIB: Lessons from delivery for scale

This review of lessons learnt from delivery for scale is based on a review of key documents, detailed analysis of operational and financial data, and interviews with over 30 key programme stakeholders undertaken by Social Finance in December 2020 and January 2021.

The review is combined of two parts, of which this report covers the first:

1. A reflection of lessons learnt from KMC roll-out to date including recommendations for implementation at scale in Cameroon;
2. A reflection on lessons learnt from outcomes-based programme delivery using a DIB structure.

We expect lessons from this first report to inform the development of a National Strategy for KMC in Cameroon. Lessons may also be included in a second report to share results and reflect on the potential of outcomes-based contracts to drive improvements in neonatal health in Cameroon and beyond.
