- Monitoring during and after the campaign;
- Interactive broadcasts through radio stations;
- Independent coverage survey at the end of the campaign;
- The triangulation of data through the daily verification of the number of children treated per team;
- The data quality control survey by cycle;
- Data synthesis and validation meeting at the district;
- A coverage survey was also carried out in 2020
Monitoring for compliance
- Verifying the correct administration of SP;
- Checking the administration of the last 2 doses (AQ);
- The identification of adverse reactions (ADRs).
Monitoring for effectiveness
