These tools are to be used to determine the effect of the use of a particular mode of transport has on the health status of women on arrival at a facility for maternal health care versus those arriving via other modes of transport. The data collected also indicates health seeking behaviours and economic status.
They have been used in the five year Emergency Transport Scheme (ETS) project which ended in 2018 and aimed to contribute to reducing maternal mortality in Adamawa State, Northern Nigeria. The project partnered with the National Union of Road Transport Workers’ (NURTW) commercial taxi drivers who were trained to provide an affordable, accessible, safe and timely emergency transport service for pregnant women in labour or for those experiencing complications during their pregnancy.

The assessment is a way to validate assumptions made during the programme design. It is also an opportunity to learn more about the area and anything which may influence the implementation of the programme
Transaid launched the Nasarawa State Emergency Transport Scheme from a pilot programme to a scale up programme covering six Local Government Areas (LGAs). This scheme will work closely with existing taxi drivers, the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the government to provide affordable, accessible, safe and timely transport for pregnant women living in rural areas to a health facility.

This assessment is a way to validate assumptions made during the programme design. It is also an opportunity to learn more about the area, from the women who live there, and anything which may influence the implementation of the programme. This tool was originally used during an assessment process for an Emergency Transport Scheme (ETS) in Nasarawa, Nigeria.

This case study outlines the background, methodology and conclusions of a media campaign conducted by Transaid in Uganda, aimed at attracting new and existing drivers to undertake training, to raise local awareness of the project, to promote the project’s aims and objectives as well as promoting the driving schools that will be offering this new training opportunity. A special focus was also placed on encouraging the participation of women in the project and transport sector as a whole.
This mid-term report presents progress from the start of the MAMaZ Against Malaria (MAM) project in July 2017 until January 2018.
MAMaZ against Malaria is a one year pilot project, funded by the Geneva-based foundation, Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV). The project aims to devise an evidence-based and sustainable strategy to improve the access of hard-to-reach communities to effective treatment for severe malaria (SM) in a high malaria burden setting.
The project is being implemented by a consortium led by Transaid in partnership with Health Partners Zambia, Development Data and Disacare. The consortium is working in partnership with the Ministry of Health in Zambia, specifically the National Malaria Elimination Centre, and the District Health Management Team for Serenje District.

Transaid and Swiss foundation, Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) are joining forces and working in collaboration with the National Malaria Elimination Center (NMEC) of Zambia, to develop innovative approaches to improve severe malaria case management in rural areas.
The project aims to address the lack of access to quality severe malaria treatment commodities and case management in Serenje District, Central Province, Zambia, which has high malaria prevalence rates. This flyer details the approach taken, early results and achievements so far. As in the MAMaZ programmes, rural emergency transport systems are being strengthened in the intervention district.

This Progress Report details progress during the first seven months of the project ‘Enhancing understanding on safe motorcycle and three-wheeler use for rural transport and the implications for appropriate training and regulatory frameworks’, which included an inception report and a literature review.
ReCAP is a six-year programme of applied research and knowledge dissemination funded by a grant from the UK Government through the DfID. The overall aim is to promote safe and sustainable rural access in Africa and Asia through research and knowledge sharing between participating countries and the wider community.

The purpose of this literature review was to generate contextual information to inform the development of research strategies in the project’s four focal countries: Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The literature review draws on existing academic and grey literature. It maps the growth in use of motorcycles and motorised three-wheelers in sub-Saharan Africa and examines the benefits and disbenefits of their use as a means of public transport, with a particular emphasis on their use in rural areas. It describes the implications of the existing lack of regulatory frameworks covering motorcycles and three-wheelers, as well as gender, mobility and road safety issues.
