CONCLUSION
Results demonstrate that social franchises in these three West African countries serve a wealthier segment of the population, likely those who are able to afford out-of-pocket costs for private care. The relative wealth of social franchise clients must also be assessed within the context in which they are located, and all three of these West African franchise networks are concentrated in capital cities and other urban settings. Depending on the franchise goals, program managers can use this information to target middle-income clients, offer subsidies to the poorest, or continue to provide a high quality private sector alternative to those who can afford to pay, relieving a burden on stressed public systems.
