𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐔𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 (𝐀𝐏𝐑) 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆.

The Migori County Department of Health and Sanitation convened a focused workshop to draft the Annual Performance Review (APR) for the Financial Year 2024/2024. Led by the Director of Public Health and Sanitation, Mr. CJ Ayungo, the meeting drew officers from health facilities, sub-counties, and the county. Dr. Michael Nyachae (Head Planning , Monitoring & Evaluation) and Jesse David (County HRIO) steered the day-to-day deliberations, ensuring a comprehensive APR that reflects our progress and areas for improvement.

The APR is a vital tool for accountability, planning, and resource alignment. It consolidates performance data, highlights achievements, identifies gaps, and informs next year’s budgeting and program priorities. By communicating clearly with facilities, sub-counties, and partners, the APR strengthens transparency, supports evidence-based decisions, and drives quality improvements across health services.

Much appreciation to the workshop participants comprising: Dr. Phaustine Adhiamno (Deputy County Pharmacist), Judith Amisi (Deputy CHRIO and M&E in the DPH’s Office), Jecinter Odira (SCMOH for Awendo), John Odira (HRIO, County Referral Hospital), David Nyamohanga (County Clinician), Elly Obwanda (Deputy County Nursing Officer), George Ochieng (County Malaria Control Coordinator), Catherine Meng’anyi (County GBV Coordinator), Dr. Erick Omondi (County PHC & UHC Coordinator), Joseph Okidi (County Reproductive Health Coordinator), Beffy Vill (County Partnerships and Donor Funding Coordinator), and Phillip, Wycliffe, and Roseline of Lwala Community Alliance. Your insights helped shape a robust APR.

A heartfelt thank you to Lwala Community Alliance for their continued financial and technical support, which strengthens our health programs and workforce capacity. The APR draft is now being finalized, with plans for validation and sign-off by senior leadership, followed by accessible summaries for partners, facilities, sub-counties, and the public. Together, we’re driving better health outcomes for our communities.
