A microplanning model to improve door-to-door health service delivery: the case of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention in Sub-Saharan African villages

Authors: André Lin Ouédraogo, Julie Zhang, Halidou Tinto, Innocent Valéa, and Edward A Wenger

CHWs provide door-to-door treatment for children experiencing Malaria in Burkina Faso, but to reduce the spread of the disease CHWs must cover a wide geographic area . André Lin Ouédraogo and colleagues developed a microplanning model to help CHWs better plan how to provide treatment to their assigned region. Implementation of this model reduced walking distance by 25% and improved coverage from 37.3% of households to 58.3%.
