What is our Summer 2025 Project?
This past summer, researchers created:
- A dataset documenting major challenges that health clinics faced, organized by severity, frequency, type, and government responses.
- A descriptive policy report summarizing:
- The major challenges in Tanzanian health clinics,
- Its effects,
- Root causes, and
- Success rates and quality of government responses.
- Two intervention proposals to respond to the challenges in Tanzanian health clinics.
Research Questions
- Q1: What kinds of problems do citizens face at their local health clinics?
- Q2: Why do these issues persist?
- Q3: What types of interventions, whether community-based, institutional, or technological, could improve outcomes?
