How much does community-based targeting of the ultra-poor in the health sector cost?: novel evidence from Burkina Faso

Our study aimed to fill this gap in knowledge through the systematic assessment of both the financial and economic costs associated with designing and implementing a pro-poor community-based targeting intervention across eight districts in rural Burkina Faso. |
