Utilizing the Equitable Impact Sensitive Tool (EQUIST), Avalon along with Community Systems Foundation supported the government of Mali by conducting an analysis of the new health plan for mothers under the Free Healthcare Initiative. This analysis helped the government understand any bottlenecks that existed that would prevent the roll-out of interventions in the country and to understand what it would cost if the government made the health services free. Additionally, the analysis supported the government in understanding how many deaths could be averted if the program was implemented.
Specific activities included: adapting the EQUIST tool to the context of Mali to develop a national version and one for each of the regions considering the specific context of each region of Mali; producing training modules in French; and modeling the unit costs for the expansion of the coverage boundaries expected from Free Health Care strategies.
