31.  There is need to harmonise the selected indicators with the available data tools  HMIS strengthening at the District and the LLUs including appropriate HRs, Trainings, Support Supervision and Mentoring are very essential.  VHTs; An appropriate selection, Training, supply of tools, Motivation as well as support for the routine running costs should be catered for.  Timely release of funds!  The bureaucracy; can the hassle be reduced?!  It is important that the LGs are involved in reviewing the Project Proposals of the District implementing partners
