BEHAVIORAL

Community score card approach

The CSC intervention is a participatory community approach. Health care workers (HCWs), PMTCT clients identified the issues that most impacted PMTCT service quality and uptake, and came together to implement actions for improvement. The core implementation strategy is using dialogue in a participatory forum that engages both service users and service providers. The CSC consists of five core phases, repeated on a regular basis (called "rounds"), for the life of the project. The five core phases include: 1. Phase I: Planning and preparation 2. Phase II: Conducting the Score Card with the community 3. Phase III: Conducting the Score Card with service providers 4. Phase IV: Interface meeting and action planning 5. Phase V: Action plan implementation and follow-up
