Program Overview

Burkina Faso devotes a significant portion of its national budget to funding digital health services and has received support from a wide range of regional and global partners. Access to critical digital applications is currently limited by the costs of internet connectivity, which is a major barrier to their widespread adoption.

An additional challenge is the management of funds allocated to purchase internet packages for community-based health workers (CCHA) and community distributors (CD). Mobile data use can sometimes deviate from initial objectives due to the lack of specific monitoring and control mechanisms, which can reduce the effectiveness of investments. This complexity in resource management, combined with challenges such as an even network coverage and budget constraints, makes it difficult to make optimal use of digital tools. To maximize the impact of digitalization initiatives, it is necessary to implement appropriate tracking systems and explore more sustainable and better managed connectivity models.

In a previous project, the Ministry of Health, in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), piloted the community digitization of Seasonal Malaria Chemo-prevention (CPS) campaigns. During this pilot, an agreement was established with one of the telephone operators on the market to test the feasibility of using URL Free technology in certain targeted areas. Testing has shown that this technology works efficiently, allowing continuous and reliable access to critical platforms without additional costs for users.

The Ministry of Health with technical support from CHAI plans to strengthen the service by integrating the remaining other telephone operators and then gradually integrate the online applications of the Ministry.

Program Context

Burkina Faso devotes a significant part of its national budget to financing digital health services and has received support from a wide range of regional and global partners. Currently, access to essential digital applications is limited by the costs associated with internet connectivity, which is a major obstacle to their widespread adoption.

An additional challenge lies in managing the funds allocated to the purchase of internet packages for community-based health workers (CSAs) and community distributors (CDs). Indeed, the’ use of mobile data can sometimes move away from the initial objectives due to the ABSENCE of specific monitoring and control mechanisms, which can reduce the’ efficiency of investments. This complexity in resource management, combined with challenges such as uneven network coverage and budget constraints, makes it difficult to make optimal use of digital tools. To maximise the’ impact of digitalisation initiatives, it is necessary to set up appropriate monitoring systems and’ explore more sustainable and better framed connectivity models.

As part of a previous project, the Ministry of Health, in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), led the community digitization of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (CPS) campaigns. During this pilot, an agreement was established with one of the telephone operators on the market to test the feasibility of the’ use of the URL Free technology in certain targeted areas. Tests have shown that this technology works effectively, allowing continuous and reliable access to essential platforms without incurring additional costs for users.

The Ministry of Health with technical support from CHAI intends to strengthen the service by integrating the remaining telephone operators and then gradually integrate the ministry’s online applications.
