A video diary is a digitized diary used for the collection of data on informants’
lives over an extended period.
is an established social science method,
it has more recently gained prominence in the field of health policy and
systems research 
(Jewitt C, 2012).

The audio and video diaries are thought to have significant advantages:
a)
participant-led 
and
 
authentic
 
in reflecting unique individual
experiences;
b)
capture 
experiences in real time
, thereby minimising recall bias
c)
reflexive, stimulating the 
maturation of respondents’ ideas 
over time
d)
motivate and empower respondents

Specific objective:
To understand the role of Women development army (WDA) leaders
as mediators of accessible primary healthcare in Ethiopia

Methods
Study setting: 
Three districts of Jimma Zone, Oromia Regional State
Selected purposively based on their category of 
performance 
in
implementing
 WDA program
Seka Chekorsa   Best performing district
Tiro Afeta           Medium performing district
Omo Nada          Least performing district

Footage will be obtained over 3-4 months, from 30 Women Development
Army leaders in 3 districts.
The videos and audios will be transcribed using 
multimodal transcription
method (gestures, sounds, will be analysed)  (Taylor, C. J. (2003).
The transcriptions will be analysed and 
triangulated
 with data obtained
through other qualitative methods.

The videos and qualitative data will be analysed and compared using MAXQDA 12.
 
A 
co-production workshop 
with participants and researchers –
to allow the participants to view the footage and add their own interpretation of the
findings: key themes, priorities for action, ‘blind spots’

1. Developing guiding questions
A major focus will be on analysing the video records along key insights gained
from data gathered from other techniques (KIs, FGDs and document reviews)
However,
We will allow flexibility and explore new phenomena that were not discovered through
other methods, but are participant-generated.

Our proposition is that the 
Video
 
voice
in format adapted to context—
can be a useful tool to inform policy development.
The approach can provide 
real-time findings

of health service volunteers within their spacio-temporal context.

The potential added value of the methodology:
1. 
Ability to capture more accurately
 
health volunteers’ perspectives
The day to day activities of WDA leaders and the challenges they encounter
can better be uncovered through diaries.
Stimulates the 
maturation of respondents’ ideas
