Intra and Inter-Ministerial Collaboration
Collaboration between different ministries and departments is sometimes hard to achieve. In Bangladesh, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare asked its female family planning field staff to assist predominantly male health assistants with vaccinations. The involvement of the former was seen as essential for reaching women and children. The Ministry also had to collaborate in a service-delivery programmed with the Ministry of Local Government which is responsible for immunization in over 80 urban centres.
In order to facilitate the process, UNICEF identified allies in the administration who advocated for such cooperation. The Cabinet Secretary, the highest level eivil servant, became an excellent advocate for the programmer. The Cabinet Division of the President’s Secretariat issued several instructions to Deputy Commissioners to get directly involved in monitoring implementation committees. Deputy Commissioners were asked to ensure coordination among social sector agencies of Government and NGOS for proper implementation of the programme. Municipal officials also become involved through directives from the centre. However, as the programme matured and became more institutionalized, more and more initiative was taken at the local level.
The awareness created throughout the civil service ranks led other ministries to get involved, such as the Ministry of Education which launched a project involving primary schools in Epi social mobilization at the community level: activities for the yearly “Education Fortnight” and the incorporation of Epi in the regular essentially a children’s programme. It was considered a logical step to involve school children who are often the most educated members of Bangladesh families. They were asked to pass the immunization message on to their parents.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs participated in sending 150.000 packets to Imams and religious leaders all over the country, requesting support for immunization activities. In 1990 the symbolizing the millions of immunization which must continue if Uci is going to be sustained. It also donated commercial space in rallway stations.
Inter-ministerial and inter-agency cooperation was extended event further. The ministry of Education held school rallies across the country. The ministry of social welfare and women’s affairs instructed their staff to get involved in Epi social mobilization activities through their vast network in villages.
