Service Availability and Readiness
Assessment (SARA)

Reference Manual

Version 2.2
Revised July 2015
Acknowledgements

The service availability and readiness assessment (SARA) methodology was developed through a joint World
Health Organization (WHO) – United States Agency for International Development (USAID) collaboration. The
methodology builds upon previous and current approaches designed to assess service delivery including the
service availability mapping (SAM) tool developed by WHO, and the service provision assessment (SPA) tool
developed by ICF International under the USAID-funded MEASURE DHS project (monitoring and evaluation to
assess and use results, demographic and health surveys) project, among others. It draws on best practices and
lessons learned from the many countries that have implemented health facility assessments as well as
guidelines and standards developed by WHO technical programmes and the work of the International Health
Facility Assessment Network (IHFAN).

Particular thanks are extended to all those who contributed to the development of the service readiness
indicators, indices, and questionnaires during the workshop on "Strengthening Monitoring of Health Services
Readiness" held in Geneva, 22–23 September 2010.

Many thanks to The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) whom has supported Statistics
Norway to take part in the development of the SARA tools. The support has contributed to the development
and implementation of a new electronic questionnaire in CSPro and data verification guidelines.

A special thanks to the Medicines Information and Evidence for Policy unit at WHO for their contribution to the
SARA training materials and to the Unidad de Calidad y Seguridad de la Atención Médica-Hospital General de
México for their contribution of photographs to the SARA data collectors' guide.

Project Management Group


The SARA methodology and tool were developed under the direction and management of Kathy O’Neill and
Ashley Sheffel with valuable inputs from Ties Boerma and Marina Takane.

FACILITY NUMBER INTERVIEWER CODE

FIND THE MANAGER, THE PERSON IN-CHARGE OF THE FACILITY, OR MOST SENIOR HEALTH WORKER RESPONSIBLE
FOR OUTPATIENT SERVICES WHO IS PRESENT AT THE FACILITY. READ THE FOLLOWING GREETING:
Good day! My name is _____________________. We are here on behalf of [IMPLEMENTING AGENCY] conducting
a survey of health facilities to assist the government in knowing more about health services in [COUNTRY].
Now I will read a statement explaining the study.
Your facility was selected to participate in this study. We will be asking you questions about various health
services. Information about your facility may be used by the [MOH], organizations supporting services in your
facility, and researchers, for planning service improvement or for conducting further studies of health services.
Neither your name nor that of any other health worker respondents participating in this study will be included in
the dataset or in any report; however, there is a small chance that any of these respondents may be identified
later. Still, we are asking for your help to ensure that the information we collect is accurate.
You may refuse to answer any question or choose to stop the interview at any time. However, we hope you will
answer the questions, which will benefit the services you provide and the nation.
If there are questions for which someone else is the most appropriate person to provide the information, we
would appreciate if you introduce us to that person to help us collect that information.
At this point, do you have any questions about the study? Do I have your agreement to proceed?
