TIPTOP’s anthropological studies, led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), are contributing to the evidence base; specifically, the acceptability of community delivery of IPTp (C-IPTp). Across our TIPTOP countries we are gaining a better understanding of the perceptions - women, ANC staff, traditional birth attendants, the community and the community health workers (CHWs) themselves hold toward C-IPTp. These studies are also key to further understanding the barriers to ANC utilization and IPTp uptake. I am delighted to be able to spotlight some of these learnings to date. The findings below highlight the acceptability and impact of TIPTOP thus far, as evidenced through the excellent work of our research partners.
