Contributing to the reduction of infant mortality and morbidity in the Timbuktu region of Mali: A semi-quantitative assessment of accessibility and coverage

A summary of findings from a study Assessing Health Systems’ Resilience to Health and Nutritional Emergencies in the Sahel Region, with Case Studies in Mali and Niger.

A SQUEAC survey to estimate coverage at the start and end of the study was planned in each of the health districts within the study area and the control area. This SQUEAC survey, carried out in the Bafoulabe health district from 31 July to 18 August 2017, forms part of this context. It provided an opportunity to deliver practical training on the SQUEAC methodology to ACF staff and an official from the Bafoulabe health district.

The SQUEAC survey, carried out from 12 June to 9 July 2017 across the former Kita health district (Kita, Sefeto, Sagabari), provided an opportunity for ACF staff and health district personnel to receive practical training on the SQUEAC methodology (Semi-Quantitative Evaluation of Accessibility and Coverage).

The investigation was carried out from 10 to 30 July 2017. It provided an opportunity to deliver practical training on the SQUEAC methodology to ACF staff and one representative from the Kayes Health District.

This SQUEAC survey was carried out in the Koro District; Mopti Region in the Republic of MALI. The Koro District is bordered by the districts of Bankass, Bandiagara and Douentza, as well as by Burkina Faso. The survey took place during the dry season, when Fulani and young people from Koro migrate to other destinations such as Bamako or Burkina Faso. The Koro District is a rural area with a predominantly agricultural population (80 per cent); the pastoralist population consists of Fulani, who account for approximately 15 per cent. The general population is stable despite the cyclical nomadism of pastoralist communities and young people.

A study on the implications and impact of treating Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) as part of integrated Community Case Management (iCCM).
