dc.description.abstractRapid Appraisal has gained popularity amongst policy makers, and is used in strategic planning of primary health care services. This study aimed at determining whether Rapid Appraisal is an appropriate planning tool for primary health care services in South Africa. This study compares Rapid Appraisal with a Regional Health Management Information System (ReHMIS), using the Northern Province as a case study, In comparison, Rapid Appraisal took half the time of ReHMIS for data collection, and used less resources in the process, There is significant difference between the two data sets and this is explained by the fact that Rapid Appraisal does not only determine whether the facility is there or not but it also identifies management issues. Rapid Appraisal is an innovative method that engages all the relevant stakeholders in planning their primary health care services, The findings proved that Rapid Appraisal is an appropriate planning tool for primary health care services.en_ZA
