The team will carry out the study over a period of 1 year in three states. The inception report was finalized and validated by WHO and NHA and data collection has commenced. The study team was severely delayed by the process of securing the Non Disclosure Agreement between National Health Authority and WHO. This has since been secured.

Thus by the end of the calendar year, we are finalizing data collection which is currently ongoing. A field report and transcripts are the planned deliverables. the second phase of analysis and report writing will commence in January and end in March 2022.	On track
