A research agenda for digital payments of health workers in large-scale health campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa
INTRODUCTION: Digital payments are increasingly favoured over cash for remunerating healthcare workers in large-scale health campaigns due to perceived advantages in efficiency and security. However, evidence to guide their scaling and optimisation is limited. This study aimed to identify and prioritise a global research agenda for digital payments in health campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). METHODS: We employed the Child Health and Nutritio…
A landscape analysis of enablers and barriers to digital payments to health workers during large-scale immunisation campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa

This study examined whether supporting districts to implement electronic cash (e-cash) payments, instead of cash, increased e-cash usage and improved vaccine campaign healthcare workers' (VCHWs) motivation and satisfaction during an oral poliovirus vaccination campaign in 2022 in Uganda. METHODS: In Nov…
