00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:11.500 align:middle line:84%
ANNA KALBARCZYK: More
than 2.5 billion children

00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:15.880 align:middle line:84%
have been vaccinated against
polio, 20 million volunteers

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:20.140 align:middle line:84%
mobilized worldwide, 18
million people walking today,

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:22.570 align:middle line:84%
who otherwise would
have been paralyzed.

00:00:22.570 --> 00:00:27.767 align:middle line:84%
And overall, polio cases
have decreased by 99.9%.

00:00:27.767 --> 00:00:29.600 align:middle line:84%
ADITI RAO: All of this
has been possible due

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.930 align:middle line:84%
to 30 years of
global collaboration

00:00:31.930 --> 00:00:35.830 align:middle line:84%
among a network of donors and
partners, strategic planning,

00:00:35.830 --> 00:00:39.880 align:middle line:84%
priority setting, resource
mobilization, financing,

00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.430 align:middle line:84%
community engagement,
and sustained efforts

00:00:42.430 --> 00:00:46.563 align:middle line:84%
to increase transparency,
accountability, and equity.

00:00:46.563 --> 00:00:47.980 align:middle line:84%
SVEA CLOSSER:
Through this course,

00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:52.080 align:middle line:84%
we have explored the importance
of collaborative microplanning,

00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:54.750 align:middle line:84%
equipping health care workers
with adequate training

00:00:54.750 --> 00:00:59.157 align:middle line:84%
and resources, and
ensuring robust monitoring.

00:00:59.157 --> 00:01:00.740 align:middle line:84%
OLKAUNLE ALONGE: We
have also explored

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:04.569 align:middle line:84%
the importance of planning
to achieve [? head ?] equity.

00:01:04.569 --> 00:01:07.460 align:middle line:84%
Two themes that reach
across all of the topics

00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:11.820 align:middle line:84%
in our schools, the first is
the importance of politics.

00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:14.780 align:middle line:84%
There is almost no part of
planning for a [? light ?]

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:19.550 align:middle line:84%
disease cultural program that
is not political in some way.

00:01:19.550 --> 00:01:21.950 align:middle line:84%
ANNA KALBARCZYK: From
minimizing political opposition

00:01:21.950 --> 00:01:25.460 align:middle line:84%
to ensuring equity, planning
for a successful program

00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:28.190 align:middle line:84%
means carefully
understanding and working

00:01:28.190 --> 00:01:31.618 align:middle line:84%
with the political
situation on the ground.

00:01:31.618 --> 00:01:33.410 align:middle line:84%
ADITI RAO: The second
theme is the key role

00:01:33.410 --> 00:01:35.840 align:middle line:84%
that planning plays in
reaching populations

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.510 align:middle line:84%
that are geographically,
environmentally, and socially

00:01:38.510 --> 00:01:40.010 align:middle line:90%
hard to reach.

00:01:40.010 --> 00:01:43.360 align:middle line:84%
Microplanning is key in
reaching these populations.

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.110 align:middle line:84%
SVEA CLOSSER: So is
finding and supporting

00:01:45.110 --> 00:01:47.810 align:middle line:84%
health workers that
know these groups well.

00:01:47.810 --> 00:01:51.230 align:middle line:84%
Careful thinking about health
equity is important too.

00:01:51.230 --> 00:01:52.820 align:middle line:84%
If a program is
going to the effort

00:01:52.820 --> 00:01:56.930 align:middle line:84%
to reach such populations, it's
wise to provide more than just

00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:58.628 align:middle line:90%
one health intervention.

00:01:58.628 --> 00:02:00.170 align:middle line:84%
OLKAUNLE ALONGE:
Through this course,

00:02:00.170 --> 00:02:02.720 align:middle line:84%
we have tried to show that
planning and management is

00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:05.840 align:middle line:84%
more than a set of
dry paper exercises.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.930 align:middle line:84%
It is a rich field that
is not only intellectually

00:02:08.930 --> 00:02:12.680 align:middle line:84%
stimulating, it owes
enormous potential

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.820 align:middle line:90%
for improving population health.

00:02:15.820 --> 00:02:19.890 align:middle line:84%
We hope that you carry some
of these lessons with you.

00:02:19.890 --> 00:02:27.000 align:middle line:90%
