The IDEAS project sought to improve the health and survival of mothers and babies through generating evidence to inform policy and practice in Ethiopia, northeast Nigeria and Uttar Pradesh, India. This data collection contains interview field notes and supporting information produced as part of a case study to investigate how an emergency transport scheme for pregnant women and newborn babies introduced in Gombe state had been scaled up to Adamawa state by Transaid and the Society for Family Health, working with National Union of Transport Workers

Neil Spicer 30th June 2014  2014 Qualitative study of scale-up – outline of proposed field work in NE Nigeria   Overview   Aim  The aim of the 2014 qualitative study of scale-up in NE Nigeria is to identify and understand in detail the factors enabling and inhibiting scale-up and the activities required to catalyse scale-up of a case-study MNH innovation. Research questions include:    How did scale-up of the case study innovation take place (description of what happened)?  What actions were taken by the grantee to catalyse scale-up of case study innovations?   Which activities were essential/most important?   In which order were different activities undertaken?   What other actors were involved?   What resources were needed?   What were the main barriers and how were these overcome to catalyse scale-up?   Case study   Transaid’s Emergency Transport Scheme (ETS) was selected since this is a concrete example of an innovation developed by a BMGF grantee that is being scaled up beyond the original grantee state/districts.   Methods   Data collection    A maximum of 20 in-depth semi-structured stakeholder interviews.    Stakeholders – primarily based in Abuja, with some in Gombe and Adamawa - sampled purposively and through snowballing based on being directly connected with and/or having detailed knowledge of the innovation and its scale-up including: relevant implementation grantee and sub-grantee staff from Transaid and SFH and others; select government officials at federal, state and possibly district levels; relevant BMGF program officers; relevant development partner organisations; other experts and informants. Additionally we would like to interviewee at least two frontline implementers of ETS – namely drivers (coordinators?).   Data capture and analysis    Interviews to be digitally sound recorded subject to interviewee agreement.  Detailed analytic field notes to be made within 24 hours of each interview using a similar approach to the 2012 qualitative study of scale-up.   Thematic analysis using the framework approach.     Neil Spicer 30th June 2014  Timeline of activities   July 2014    Meeting in London with Yashua to discuss activities, timings and staffing.   September   Agree on country researchers and preparing them for the study.    October 2014    Contact key stakeholders from Transaid and SFH to discuss plans and seek agreement to proceed.   With country researchers develop and finalise the interview topic guide and identify a ‘first wave’ of interviewees.   October 2014 - January 2015   Interviews to be conducted and written up by country researchers.   A number of ‘international’ stakeholders will be interviewed by Deepthi and Neil via phone/Skype from London or in person in Seattle in October.   End January 2015   All interviews and analytic notes completed.  January – February 2015   Undertake rapid thematic analysis of the 20 interviews led by LSHTM with inputs from country researchers.    Draft study output led by LSHTM.   Country researchers – roles and inputs include -    Work with LSHTM team to draft topic guide and identify first wave interviewees.   Carry out interviews in agreement with LSHTM.   Work with LSHTM team to identify and agree additional interviewees.   Write approximately 20 sets of analytic field notes based on an agreed template.   Contribute to thematic analysis and contribute to/comment on study outputs.
