Over the past 15 years, Burkina Faso, like most countries in sub-Saharan Africa, has made remarkable progress in reducing maternal, neonatal and infant/child mortality and malnutrition. But this progress has been insufficient to achieve the targets set at national and global level.
In this context, Burkina Faso’s membership of the Global Financing Facilities (GFF) in September 2017 is an opportunity to focus efforts and reduce disparities in SRMNEAN, civil registration and vital statistics production. To this end, the Pays has decided to prepare, in an inclusive and participative way, a SRMNEAN investment file. Functional Team 7, through four sub-groups, produced preparatory work (sub-group reports, mapping of interventions) which served as a basis for the drafting of this investment file by a team of four national (2) and international (2) consultants. The methodology was based on an exhaustive literature review and the use of the EQUIST tool to analyze the causes of bottlenecks and identify efficient strategies. The investment amount was calculated using the OneHealth tool.
The investment file, thus drafted in line with GFF’s principles and guidelines, provides a coherent response to five main questions:
Where are we with SRMNEAN, civil registration and vital statistics production?
What are the main bottlenecks and their causes?
What’s the answer to removing these bottlenecks?
What is the cost of the answer?
What’s the impact?
