GHC study findings: country-based key informant interviews
Overview
The Global Health Cluster (GHC) COVID-19 Task Team conducted two studies simultaneously – an online survey for all country health clusters and key informant interviews in six country health clusters - to identify good practices and to better understand the technical and operational challenges faced by Health Clusters and partners in the COVID-19 response and in the efforts to maintain essential health services in humanitarian settings. Shared findings include the increased operational constraints being faced, significant resource scarcity and reported technical gaps. Requests were made for additional support for shared learning and context-appropriate guidance relevant for humanitarian settings where resources are scarce.
With the support of its partner, the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, the GHC COVID-19 Task Team has produced the report Health Cluster Study Findings: Key Informant Interviews from Six Countries. This report shares the findings from 64 key informant interviews conducted with health cluster partners in six countries in August 2020 (Cox’s Bazar Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Chad, Iraq, North East Nigeria and Yemen). It examines operational challenges and technical gaps being faced to provide COVID-19 response and essential health services as well as capturing good practice and localized solutions being implemented by health clusters and partners.
