Capitalisation of the handover of the MSF-CRENI to the Zinder National Hospital, Niger

Abstract

The MSF-OCG handover process of the nutritional programme in Zinder was evaluated with the objective to assess best practices, challenges and lessons learnt of the handover/integration process of the Zinder CRENI to the hospital, with the main purpose to improve handover processes in such contexts as well as decision-making in future projects. The evaluation has confirmed the pertinence of MSF in Zinder since 2005 and has contributed to the reduction of the infant mortality rate. However, there are several issues that need to be considered to guarantee the continuity of the activities in the CRENI with good quality standards of care.
