Lesson
A project that requires behavioral change within communities needs a long-term agenda. Measuring the impact of such a project will take time. A project may be deemed successful on the basis of short-term outcomes, but it may not endure, particularly if there were deficiencies during project implementation. Thus, setting impact performance indicators to be achieved by 2012 (the year of project closing) might have been too short-term.

Capacity development requires continuous investment. Human resource development is key to providing improved health services. A large number of health staff, including medical doctors and midwives, received scholarships to build capacity in obstetrics and neonatal care. However, local governments' fiscal capacity to finance capacity development was limited or nonexistent. Significant investments, both in terms of capacity building and health infrastructure, will be required to meet the maternal mortality MDG target by 2015.
