  abstract = {{T}he {O}uagadougou {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance {S}ystem ({O}uaga {HDSS}), located in five neighbourhoods at the northern periphery of the capital of {B}urkina {F}aso, was established in 2008. {D}ata on vital events (births, deaths, unions, migration events) are collected during household visits that have taken place every 10 months. {T}he areas were selected to contrast informal neighbourhoods (similar to 40 000 residents) with formal areas (similar to 40 000 residents), with the aims of understanding the problems of the urban poor, and testing innovative programmes that promote the well-being of this population. {P}eople living in informal areas tend to be marginalized in several ways: they are younger, poorer, less educated, farther from public services and more often migrants. {H}alf of the residents live in the {S}anitary {D}istrict of {K}ossodo and the other half in the {D}istrict of {S}ig-{N}onghin. {T}he {O}uaga {HDSS} has been used to study health inequalities, conduct a surveillance of typhoid fever, measure water quality in informal areas, study the link between fertility and school investments, test a non-governmental organization ({NGO})-led programme of poverty alleviation and test a community-led targeting of the poor eligible for benefits in the urban context. {K}ey informants help maintain a good rapport with the community. {T}he {O}uaga {HDSS} data are available to researchers under certain conditions.},
