A landscape analysis of enablers and barriers to digital payments to health workers during large-scale immunisation campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND: Timely and consistent digital payment of health workers is crucial for improving the effectiveness of immunization campaigns and achieving the polio eradication goals by 2026. However, evidence on the enablers and barriers to digital payments in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is limited. OBJECTIVE: To explore the enablers and barriers to digital payments for immunization campaign health workers in eight selected SSA countries. METHODS: An e…
Assessing the feasibility of partner-implemented digital payment systems for health workers
BACKGROUND: The heightening of efforts to eradicate vaccine-preventable diseases through mass vaccination campaigns has contributed to a growing demand for effective and efficient payment mechanisms for frontline vaccination workers in large-scale campaigns. Subsequently, the Uganda Ministry of Health (MoH) adopted digital payments for campaign workers, which were either implemented by the government or partners. We specifically explored stakehol…
Do cash or digital payment modalities affect community health worker performance? – a case study of a remote refugee settlement in Western Uganda
BACKGROUND: There is inadequate evidence about the influence of digital and cash payment modalities on the performance of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in underserved communities, such as refugee settlements. OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of CHWs when paid in cash or digitally in Kyaka II refugee settlement, Uganda. METHODS: A comparative cross-sectional mixed methods design was used. Secondary data comprising 247 CHW reports during a s…
Associations Between Alcohol Use, Antiretroviral Therapy Use, and Viral Load Suppression Among People Living with HIV in Rural Central Uganda
Alcohol use among people living with HIV (PWH) is common and may negatively affect engagement in HIV care. We evaluated the relationships between alcohol use, ART use, and viral suppression among PWH in Uganda. PATH/Ekkubo was a trial evaluating a linkage to HIV care intervention in four Ugandan districts, Nov 2015-Sept 2021. Our analytical sample included: (1) baseline data from individuals not enrolled in the intervention trial (previously diag…
A Psychometric Evaluation and a Framework Test of the HIV Stigma Mechanisms Scale Among a Population-Based Sample of Men and Women Living with HIV in Central Uganda
Prevalence and factors associated with delayed antiretroviral therapy initiation among adults with HIV in Alebtong district, Northern Uganda
Globally, an estimated 36.7 million people were living with HIV (PLWH) and of these, 2.1 million were newly infected and 1.1 million died of AIDS in 2015. By 2016, only 67% of adults eligible for ART were enrolled in ART in Uganda. Delayed ART initiation has been shown to contribute to the continued transmission of HIV as well as to higher morbidity and mortality among persons living with HIV. Our study examined the prevalence and factors associa…
Exploring the Potential of Savings-Led Economic Strengthening HIV Interventions Among High-Risk Economically Vulnerable Fishing Communities in Uganda
The performance of community health workers in the management of multiple childhood infectious diseases in Lira, northern Uganda – a mixed methods cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND: Community health workers (CHWs) have the potential to reduce child mortality by improving access to care, especially in remote areas. Uganda has one of the highest child mortality rates globally. Moreover, rural areas bear the highest proportion of this burden. The optimal performance of CHWs is critical. In this study, we assess the performance of CHWs in managing malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea in the rural district of Lira, in nor…
