Synthesis of the inter-country context analysis in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi and Mozambique

This report presents a synthesis of findings on factors influencing the performance of closeto-community (CTC) providers. It is based on research conducted in six countries: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi and Mozambique, and also on evidence from an international literature review that investigated factors influencing the performance of CTC providers. These studies were carried out as part of the first phase of the REACHOUT consortium — ‘Reaching out and linking in: health systems and close-tocommunity services’ — funded by the European Union. This report describes an analytical framework for examining the factors influencing the performance of CTC providers.
