Dimagi CommCare Connect Child Health Campaign
Door-to-door child health and nutrition services for children under five in five northern states, delivered by local frontline workers and tracked on CommCare.
Why it matters
Services have to reach the household
In hard-to-reach communities, children miss screening and referral because services are far away. The campaign took them to the door, with digital records to prove it.
5 states
across north-east and north-west Nigeria
