Collaboration: assessing the impact of male-caregiver-focused immunization sensitization
PATH Kenya is an organization that designs and implements innovative solutions to complex health challenges and strengthens health systems. Its Living Labs program uses human-centered approaches to co-create effective interventions. As part of the Zero-Dose Learning Agenda (ZDLA), PATH has been delivering Chanjo Talks Kazini (CTK)—an intervention targeting male caregivers of under-one children in Homa Bay County, Kenya. CTK brings group sensitization sessions to male caregivers at their workplaces and in key community spaces. We’re working with PATH to assess the impact this intervention has had on trust among households, based on a new data collection tool: the Conversational Trust Tool.
Collaboration: measuring trust around referral & paracetamol provision interventions
In Sindh, Pakistan, Impetus is currently leading two innovative trust-centered interventions that are being implemented in high-priority areas of Karachi to improve immunization coverage through the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI). The first targets zero-dose children through partnerships with private health providers and traditional birth attendants, while the second addresses post-vaccination concerns by providing paracetamol and educational materials to reduce dropout rates for multi-dose vaccines.
We’re currently working with Impetus to measure how both interventions affect caregiver trust—both in vaccines and in the health system more broadly.
Collaboration: measuring trust around vaccinator training
The Mukhtari Project is an innovative initiative designed to enhance the well-being, emotional resilience, and technical capacity of vaccinators serving high-risk communities in Malir, Sindh, Pakistan, led by the Centre for Arts-based Methodologies & Wellbeing (CFAW).
We’re working with CFAW to concretely measure the trust impact of the Mukhtari project – on the vaccinators involved, and on the communities they serve. Stay tuned as we work towards defining the impact of this exciting intervention.
