High Impact Rapid Delivery (HIRD) Supplementary Survey, 2007 (District MICS): Monitoring the Situation of Children and Women Consolidated Report for Central, Northern, Upper East Region and Upper West Regions

---

This report presents the results of the district level Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (MICS) conducted
May to December, 2007 to provide indicators for the High Impact Rapid Delivery (HIRD)
programme. The survey was preceded by the 2006 MICS, which was conducted by the Ghana
Statistical Service with support from the Ministry of Health andUNICEFGhana, and provided national and
regional statistics and indicators.
A number of new interventions have been implemented by the Government in the recent past, which will
have an impact on indicators and are expected to change over a short period of time. The Ministry of Health
has put a strong emphasis on scaling-up of the High Impact Rapid Delivery approach (HIRD) to achieving
MDGs 4 and 5 which was adopted for national implementation after the successful evaluation and documentation
of the lessons learnt from the Upper East pilot.
As a supplementary MICS survey, the current survey responds to the need to have baseline data to support
the implementation of the HIRD intervention in the Upper West, Northern and Central Regions. To this
end, it was designed to provide district level indicators to monitor progress on issues relating towomenand
children in these regions.
The HIRD Supplementary Survey was developed within the framework of the MICS, and employed the
same methodologies with minor modifications made to the 2006 MICS questionnaire. It was implemented
by UNICEF with technical assistance from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Ghana Statistical Service
(GSS).
