Click here to download the document
The BOMA Health Delivery Model has been developed by AMREF Kenya, in partnership with Kajiado North District Health Management Team (DHMT) and TATA Chemicals Magadi Limited (TCML) to promote Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) within semi-nomadic pastoralist communities in hard-to-reach regions.
This document presents a comprehensive description of the BOMA model, key innovations, successes and the lessons learnt in Magadi area.
Importantly, this document provides other agencies the opportunity to learn from AMREF's experience among the Maasai pastoral nomadic communities in Magadi and apply the BOMA model in future projects targeting similar communities.
Agencies delivering the Community Strategy or other primary health care services in hard-to reach semi-nomadic communities will find this document to be a useful guide for designing and implementing successful programmes that encourage community
partnerships and participation at the household level.
AMREF is a transparent organisation distributing funds of up to $85 million per year.
