    Open AccessBridget Naphiyo, Jacob Mazalale et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

In the 2019-20 Malawi Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), immunisation coverage of basic vaccines among 12-23-month-old children was at 72%. However, disaggregated immunisation coverage in some groups of children was below or above 72%.…

    Open AccessGowokani Chijere Chirwa, Joe Maganga Zonda et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2023

    The COVID-19 pandemic affected the world in various ways.

This paper explores this question by looking at how government stringency meas…

  • Political economy analysis of subnational health management in Kenya, Malawi and Uganda

    Open AccessDaniela C Rodríguez, L N Balaji et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2023

    The need to bolster primary health care (PHC) to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets for health is well recognized. In Eastern and Southern Africa, where governments have progressively decentralized health decision-making, health management is critical to PHC performance. While investments in health management capacity are important, so is improving the environment in which managers operate. Governance arrangements, management …

    This paper examines the determinants of livelihood trajectories of households surveyed in rural Malawi in 2007 that were tracked in 2018. Using a set of indicators, including income source diversification and participation in social assistance programmes, households were placed in different trajectories, namely, dropping out, stepping up, hanging in and stepping in. A multinomial logit model was used to analyse factors explaining placement in a l…

  • Exploiting the emergent nature of mixed methods designs

    Open AccessManuela De Allegri, Stephan Brenner et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2019References: 16

    The application of mixed methods in Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) has expanded remarkably. Nevertheless, a recent review has highlighted how many mixed methods studies do not conceptualize the quantitative and the qualitative component as part of a single research effort, failing to make use of integrated approaches to data collection and analysis. More specifically, current mixed methods studies rarely rely on emergent designs as a s…
