Using Key Informants to Identify and Refer Children who need Eye Care Services
This manual explains how key informants (KIs) in African communities can be selected, trained, and used to identify children with severe visual impairment or blindness. It covers planning, community engagement, referral systems, and follow-up to ensure children receive eye care services. The approach strengthens early detection, improves access to treatment, and supports elimination of avoidable childhood blindness.
