Description
Melissa Baker and a team of co-authors compare ways to give vitamin A to young children in northern Cote d'Ivoire. Their study is from two thousand twenty-five. Lack of this vitamin harms many children in the region. Since two thousand sixteen, the country has shifted from big campaigns to routine delivery through health services.
The team compared three routine routes in two health districts: fixed sites, outreach in villages, and catch-up visits. They tracked costs across six kinds of work, from planning to oversight. They also surveyed households to see how many children were reached. The total cost for six months came to twenty-five and a half million francs. Staff pay made up the largest share of that cost.
