Beneficiary Feedback Mechanisms

To improve the delivery of health interventions, people-centred approaches are needed, both to ensure that interventions are accessible and address health care needs appropriately. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that the feedback of patients and community members can improve programmatic activities and lead to the more equitable and comprehensive distribution of programme interventions.

This learning brief looks at the pilots of several Beneficiary Feedback Mechanisms across countries in the Ascend project.
