Benchmarking and Program Plans

Our mission for the first 2 weeks included working with the Mercy Hospital leadership team and the CRC leadership team as they began the next phase of their shift to Activities Based Budgeting, by connecting UMC's goals in Health and Child Welfare with the Global Sustainable Development Goals and setting program goals, outcome targets, and progress indicators and defining program activities.

Cynthia, Kim and I worked on the ground with the leadership in Sierra Leone and the team back in Chantilly joined in remotely. Even with the challenges of scarce internet and electricity, we managed to make significant progress from day one. Thanks to Cynthia Grant - by day 10, we were on a roll!
