Operations Research Clause Samples
The Operations Research clause defines the procedures and methodologies for analyzing and optimizing business processes within the scope of the agreement. It typically outlines how data will be collected, analyzed, and used to improve efficiency, reduce costs, or enhance decision-making, often specifying the roles and responsibilities of each party in these activities. By establishing a clear framework for systematic analysis and improvement, this clause ensures that both parties can collaboratively identify and implement operational enhancements, thereby solving the problem of inefficiency or suboptimal resource allocation.

Operations Research. Indoor Air Pollution (IAP)
Operations Research. The reproductive health field has long had an interest in studying men’s involvement to determine if a focus on men can increase contraceptive use and other positive reproductive health behaviors. This CSP will use men’s groups to discuss a variety of health issues, particularly relating to the three project interventions, and explore the question: Will educating and mobilizing men around maternal and child health issues improve household level behavior change? The project will conduct this study within the CHS catchment area, not the area outside as other services are not comparable. The partners will select communities for implementing men’s groups and compare their behavior change with other communities just using Care Groups and other strategies. The project will not compare communities outside of the project area due to costs of extra surveys. Chikankata Health Services and the CCSP, specifically, is also working closely with Boston University and the Ministry of Health on the Zambia Integrated Management of Malaria and Pneumonia Study, which will examine CHW assessment of malaria and pneumonia in children under five, the effects of integrated management on health of children, CHW use of Coartem and amoxicillin, and the cost effectiveness of community-based versus facility-based management.
Operations Research. Carrying out of research on effective production techniques for high quality salt from limited pond areas and improvement of storage conditions to reduce the decline of iodine levels in salt, including provision of technical assistance.
Operations Research. As part of monitoring and evaluation function, the project will integrate operations research (OR) in its design to obtain information critical to enhance behavior change. During CIMCI phase I, Africare studied and quantified the immediate effect of CIMCI on facility utilization, revealing an increase of 97%. CIMCI-Plus extension provides an excellent opportunity to monitor this effect over time, for projecting facility and other needs. CIMCI-Plus will look at qualitative factors influencing care- seeking patterns for dangerous practices such as millet and tooth extraction, from client and traditional healer perspectives, to provide information for development of BCC strategies to address these practices. PRA will be a key methodology in the studies that will be undertaken to gather qualitative data
