Rituu,

Sorry for delaying the response.

If ultra-poor access health services without financial attached. 

Its simple if ultra-poor communities are able to access services within recommended distance .i.e. referral hospitals are not for any diseases unless the case has been referred from health center/ district hospitals.

I have not come across with a local evaluation association in Malawi. I have been in the system of CSO sector since 2004.

Thanks for sharing. How are you ensuring that most disadvantaged are able to access services? 

How do you measure your progress? Are you associated with any local evaluation association in Malawi?  It will be wonderful to learn from you. Warm greetings!
