In Benin, a September field mission examined how C2P coaching and formative supervision are working in routine immunization practice.
From 6–11 September 2026, a joint mission reviewed the implementation of Coach2Perform (C2P) across targeted health zones as part of TCA 2026.
C2P is implemented by Benin’s Expanded Programme on Immunization, with technical support from GaneshAID. The mission engaged national vaccination representatives, health-zone teams, medical officers, EPI focal points, nurses, midwives and the GaneshAID team in looking closely at coaching practices on the ground.
The focus was not only on whether coaching sessions were taking place, but on the quality of coach–coachee interactions, formative supervision practices, follow-up tools and the experience of those using the approach in routine work.
For health workforce performance, this matters. A supervision mechanism can exist without necessarily showing whether feedback is useful, performance gaps are being clearly identified, or agreed improvements are carried into day-to-day practice.
By bringing together field observations, programme evidence and participant experience, the mission helps identify where coaching is working as intended and where further support or adjustment may be useful. GaneshAID contributes through technical and operational support, public health analysis and implementation learning.
Supportive supervision becomes meaningful when learning from practice can strengthen practice itself.
