Description

Esias Ka Nanbe Bedingar and colleagues study, in 2026, paying vaccination workers by mobile money in Chad. Irregular cash allowances can sap motivation, so the team compare provinces that switched to digital payment with those that did not.

Surveys of 1,510 workers and dozens of interviews found higher motivation and job satisfaction where mobile payment was used. Workers praised prompt, reliable payment and said it cut money worries, letting them focus on the campaign. Barriers remained for remote staff with weak connectivity or low digital skills, pointing to training needs as such schemes expand.
