Biometric Tracking Of Health Workers' Attendance And Maternal And Child Health Outcomes In Rural Nigeria

This project investigates how biometric tracking can reduce health worker absenteeism and strengthen service delivery in rural Nigeria. Targeting primary health centers across Kogi State, the research aims to assess the feasibility of using fingerprint scanners to monitor staff attendance and improve accountability in public health facilities. The study will also explore the operational requirements, data management systems, and institutional frameworks needed to implement biometric technologies effectively within the health sector. Insights from this work will inform the design of a pilot randomized evaluation to test the impact of biometric attendance tools on workforce management, service delivery, and maternal and child health outcomes in rural communities.
