REC-Maternité is a digital health job aid for improving maternal and infant care at primary healthcare facilities in Burkina Faso. To support the implementation and evaluation of REC-Maternité, Terre des Hommes, with the support of the Burkina Faso Ministry of Health, partnered with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to better understand the adoption patterns of the tool over time, as well as its impact on district-level utilization of maternity services and the quality of antenatal care services and client satisfaction at primary healthcare facilities.
The webinar will consist of a presentation and a moderated discussion section. The presentation will provide a brief description of the Rec-Maternité intervention as well as the partnerships engaged in its rollout. The design of the evaluation will then be introduced, along with the results of the impact that Rec-Maternité had on the quality of care. Finally, preliminary results of a process evaluation of the implementation of the tool will be shared. During the second half of the webinar, a moderated discussion with questions from the audience will be held.
