1.4 General objective
The aim of the study is to test improvement in the quality of routinely collected data elements necessary to monitor intrapartum maternal and immediate newborn health in hospitals from settings with high burden of maternal and newborn mortality and morbidities, upon implementation of a designed IPC register and obstetric CN.
1.5 Specific objectives of the study
1. To Design a globally standardized IPC register and selected obstetric CN for interprofessional teams involved in RHIS data collection and use in healthcare facilities
2. Test the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the designed IPC register and selected designed obstetric CN in selected healthcare facilities
a) Measure the completeness of intrapartum and immediate postnatal care data elements (including mMNHDS), documented before and after implementation of the designed register and CN.
b) Assess user-experience of the designed IPC register and CN.
c) Assess completeness and quality of the data elements required to inform the mMNHDS during intrapartum care depending on the level of care (lower level versus referral hospital).
3. Identify barriers and challenges encountered by health staff in implementing the standardized IPC register and obstetric case notes.

MIXED-METHODS IMPACT EVALUATION OF THE DIMITRA CLUBS PROJECT IN UGANDA’S AMOLATAR DISTRICT
REFNo: SS4697ES
Main Objective / Purpose
The impact evaluation seeks to understand how participation in Dimitra Clubs influences women’s empowerment and social inclusion. It will assess changes in social cohesion—such as trust, community participation, collective problem-solving, and conflict resolution. The evaluation will further examine how the Clubs strengthen women’s agency, confidence, decision-making power, and access to social and economic resources, while also observing shifts in gender norms among both women and men. Lastly, the study aims to determine whether involvement in the Clubs reduces experiences of intimate partner violence.
Specific Objectives (Polished & Summarised)
1. To evaluate how the Dimitra Clubs enhance women’s intrinsic agency, including autonomy over income decisions and overall self-efficacy.
2. To explore changes in intra-household gender dynamics, including men’s engagement in domestic roles and how household resources are controlled or allocated.
3. To determine whether participation in the Clubs is associated with a reduction in intimate partner violence.
4. To assess the influence of the Clubs on participants’ social cohesion, focusing on trust, relationships, community participation, and confidence in local institutions.
