Maternal & Child Survival Program: Survey for Community Distribution of Intermittent Preventive Treatment (cIPT) for Malaria Prevention, Burkina Faso (2018)

Description

Burkina Faso, an arid, landlocked country in West Africa, is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. With more than 80% of the population relying on subsistence agriculture, ongoing drought, poor soil, lack of adequate infrastructure and a low literacy rate have all adversely impacted the population’s health status. As a result, Burkina Faso’s rates of maternal, neonatal and infant mortality are among the highest in Africa, and low use of contraception has led to one of the highest fertility rates in West Africa. In addition, malaria is endemic, placing pregnant women and young children at particular risk. This data asset is from a household survey that addressed the issue of Community-based distribution of Intermittent Preventive Treatment (cIPT). The accompanying dataset contains both baseline and endline responses.
