Abstract:

Health districts in Burkina Faso have the formidable task of providing care for 300,000 to 400,000 people per district with severely limited resources for HIV/AIDS prevention. In June through October 2001, health officials in Burkina Faso adapted and pilot tested the PLACE method for planning HIV/AIDS interventions. This study presents the results of that effort. Key informants identified more than 400 sites where high-risk populations met to socialize and meet new sexual partners; individuals attending these venues were then interviewed about their knowledge and risk behaviors.

MEASURE Evaluation is funded by USAID to strengthen capacity in developing countries to gather, interpret, and use data to improve health. We create tools and approaches for rigorous evaluations, providing evidence to address health challenges. And we strengthen health information systems so countries can make better decisions and sustain good health outcomes over time.
