Family Planning Counseling in Your Pocket: A Mobile Job Aid for Community Health Workers in Tanzania

by

Authors: Smisha Agarwal, Christine Lasway, Kelly L’Engle, Rick Homan, Erica Layer, Steve Ollis, Rebecca Braun, Lucy Silas, Anna Mwakibete, Mustafa Kudrati

Using mobile job aids can help CHWs deliver integrated counseling on family planning and HIV/STI screening by following a step-by-step service delivery algorithm. Lessons learned during the pilot led to the development of additional features during scale-up to exploit the other major advantages that mHealth offers including:

·         Better supervision of health workers and accountability for their performance

·         Improved communication between supervisors and workers

·         Access to real-time data and reports to support quality improvement
