Clinical Assessment for Systems Strengthening

"HRSA recommendations are more enabling because it is not just recommendations but also technical support and resources to effect change . . . Internally, there is a shift in the mind set and a realization of what is to be done – The process is owned by us. — ClASS Participant, Zambia"

"The time and effort put in shows the genuineness of HRSA. It is real value for money. The changes would never have taken place without ClASS. They give on the spot guidance. Changes come from the assessment. — ClASS Participant, Zambia"

"The thoroughness [of ClASS review] is very impressive. It was a systematic review which was strong. In the end, it mostly told us what we already knew. Still it gave helpful roadmap and set these organizations to be competitive. — USG Representative, Zambia"

"Yes, it helped us win the FOA. We had no idea what we were going in for.—ClASS Participant, Nigeria"

"ClASS is not negative in any context…it works because it is not questioning but rather discussing and writing. It is very friendly, fair and open-minded. At the end of the day, the reviewers are very willing to listen.ClASS Participant, Zambia"

"Everything is done in a way that promotes ownership. You are the one who answers questions, shows documents; at the end, it is your plan too. They make suggestions but do not block path – just enhance to make organization stronger. — ClASS Participant, Nigeria"
