Abstract

The study evaluated the level of quality of care provided by community health workers (CHW) within the framework of the Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) strategy. Results have shown that despite the difficulties faced by community health workers, they manage to deliver acceptable quality of care. The SMC’s administration guide proposed by WHO was the standard for CHW’s quality assessment and an important factor supporting the study. The report reviews details of methodology and outcomes of the project as well as providing background to the SMC strategy. This study was conducted in the Boulsa health district, located in the north-central region of Burkina Faso.
