Literature Review
Project details
What we need
- A report summarizing key information from white papers or research reports (50 total pages maximum)
- Written qualitative analysis and findings related to the Organization's research goals
Additional details
We are looking into a costing project in healthcare, we have materials we would appreciate help with synthesising/obtaining a literature review for a report "how to cost programs" some experience in scientific/academic writing and economics/health economics is a bonus!
What we have in place
- We currently have a draft outline and 6 reports for the literature review, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have hands on guidance on costing and the way forward, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,888 , allowing us to finalise our protocol for use in he field.
It helps answer how to cost programs for policy and decision-makers; and an extra pair of eyes would help bounce ideas off to concretise this work.
Project plan
Our mission
Safari Doctors was registered as a community-based organization in Lamu, Kenya in 2015. Our mission is to provide innovative, community-driven healthcare solutions that promote well-being for marginalized communities in Lamu County.
The indigenous Aweer and Bajuni communities live within the archipelago and on the mainland near the border with Somalia. Neglect and insecurity continue to impede their right to access healthcare.
What we do
Each month, the team sets sail in a boat loaded with medicines and conducts mobile clinics across at least 11 villages. Together with regular outreach work, the team reaches up to 800 patients a month.
Safari Doctors operates a youth Health Ambassadors programme, engaging young men and women who receive basic health education and training, to facilitate our work and become
health leaders in their communities.
As part of our holistic approach to community health, our Safari Vet cares for hundreds of animals. During our outreach work, we provide veterinary services and carry out community awareness sessions on animal welfare and One Health.
Our team also operates a civic education program to build indigenous women's capacity to
engage in County health budget processes and inform policy.
In 2017, the UN in Kenya awarded the Safari Doctors team the United Nations Person of the Year award, "for the outstanding efforts and commendable work providing medical care to marginalized communities in the far reaching areas of Lamu."
