A bibliography of applications of operational research in sub-Saharan Africa

There continues to be considerable interest in the potential for applying Operational Research (OR) in less‐developed countries. A recent paper provided a bibliography of published research from West Africa. This paper extends that bibliography to the other sub‐Saharan nations, with the omission of South Africa. In some parts of this region, there have been numerous applications described in the literature, while in others there is very little on record. As in the earlier paper, the material has been collected from a wide range of journals, extending from the regular OR literature to many application journals. In addition to the references, the paper describes the manner of collection of this information, and discusses the resulting picture of OR in sub‐Saharan Africa.

“…The concept of cluster of innovations is useful because the description of the innovation could also include the organizational forces compatible with the innovation, or the changes needed in the organizational structure and norms to ensure successful adoption. Foltz [26] recognizes the problem of defining the innovation, a new MIS in Chad, when she says this is a complex combination of organization and computer technology, but it is not explored sufficiently in her paper.…”

Validation of a theoretical model linking organizational fit and diffusion of innovation in information systems development

Exploratory, inductive analysis has not validated the linking of diffusion of innovation and dynamic equilibrium frameworks by grounding these theories in empirical information systems development. This paper reports on an ethnographic case study that followed the introduction of new health information management strategies in a low-income country. The aim was not to test theory, but to use existing theory to develop an interpretation of the themes and patterns which arose. During the analysis this research empirically validated the idea of organizational fit and concepts from the diffusion of innovation theoretical framework. Some refinements to the models and several contributions to theory have been made. In addition many implications for practice are identified. Furthermore, because theory can have an impact upon the way planners frame problems and identify solutions, this combination of theoretical frameworks could bring benefits to future IS development and organizational change.

“…Obtaining support and guidance for the system from organizations representing reporting sites can also encourage acceptance by participating laboratories. For example, APHL was instrumental in developing and implementing electronic reporting from state public health laboratories in the United States (9). During the initial phases, CDC was in constant contact with APHL to determine system specifications and resolve data issues.…”

“…With these considerations in mind, planners will want to consider flexible laboratory surveillance systems. Planners also need to determine exactly what the surveillance system is to accomplish, whether it is to detect outbreaks, analyze trends, or generate hypotheses (6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

Implementing a Network for Electronic Surveillance Reporting from Public Health Reference Laboratories: An International Perspective

Electronic data reporting from public health laboratories to a central site provides a mechanism for public health officials to rapidly identify problems and take action to prevent further spread of disease. However, implementation of reference laboratory systems is much more complex than simply adopting new technology, especially in international settings. We describe three major areas to be considered by international organizations for successful implementation of electronic reporting systems from public health reference laboratories: benefits of electronic reporting, planning for system implementation (e.g., support, resources, data analysis, country sovereignty), and components of system initiation (e.g., authority, disease definition, feedback, site selection, assessing readiness, problem resolution). Our experience with implementation of electronic public health laboratory data management and reporting systems in the United States and working with international organizations to initiate similar efforts demonstrates that successful reference laboratory reporting can be implemented if surveillance issues and components are planned.
