Avec des objectifs ambitieux de vacciner 70% de la population ivoirienne, comprendre les facteurs de confiance et d’adoption des vaccins est essentiel pour la réponse au COVID-19 et atteindre cet objectif.

Breakthrough ACTION Côte d’Ivoire a menée une enquête auprès des ménages à trois phases portant sur les connaissances, les attitudes et les pratiques afin d’informer la communication des risques et l’engagement communautaire.

Consensus Statement on Repurposing ITNs

Consensus Statement on Repurposing ITNs: Applications for BCC Messaging and Actions at the Country Level

There is a growing demand for guidance on what to do with old or worn-out ITNs throughout their life cycle. This consensus statement provides National Malaria Control/Elimination Programs (NMCPs) and implementing partners with clear recommendations and key messages on three categories of repurposing: beneficial repurposing, neutral repurposing, and misuse. With the introduction of universal coverage strategies and the ongoing distribution and sale of ITNs, more people have access to and are using ITNs. Older ITNs accumulate in households as they are replaced with new ITNs, and given the lack of environmentally sustainable disposal options, households are instead repurposing the old ITNs. Households have demonstrated countless ways to repurpose an old ITN, including protecting seedlings, creating screening for window and doors, or using under a mattress as pest control. There are also reports of community leaders instituting fines or penalties for families who repurpose or misuse ITNs. This consensus statement provides guidance on preventing ITN misuse and repurposing ITN materials without reprisal.

Social and Behavior Change and Health System Strengthening

Health system strengthening (HSS) comprises the strategies, responses, and activities that are designed to sustainably improve country health system performance. Social and behavior change (SBC) programming is an approach that applies systematic insights about why people behave the way they do, and how behaviors change, to effect positive outcomes for and by specific groups of people. But what is the role of SBC within HSS programs? This document identifies how the behavior of health system actors has a direct impact on the strength of the overall health system and health outcomes. It highlights how SBC may be integrated into HSS programs to strengthen HSS program implementation and measurement, and improve the system’s ability to support the practice of healthy behaviors.

Community Approaches to Child Health in Malawi: Applying the Community Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (C-IMCI) Framework

The C-IMCI Framework is made up of three elements: (1) improving partnerships between health facilities and the communities they serve; (2) increasing appropriate and accessible health care and information from community-based providers; and (3) integrating promotion of key family practices critical for child health and nutrition, and a multi-sectoral platform. The intent of the C-IMCI Framework is to enable NGOs and governments to categorize their existing community-based program efforts and develop and implement a coordinated, integrated strategy to improve child health. The framework is designed to address each of the three key elements and a multi-sectoral platform that would be most effective in improving child health.

This paper documents World Relief’s approach to C-IMCI interventions at the household level in Malawi, where the government is dedicated to implementing C-IMCI through its community network of health surveillance assistants. Included are sections on: background, Care Group Model, Programming, Results, Lessons Learned, and Scale Up / Costs.

Engaging Boys and Men in Gender Transformation: The Group Education Manual

This 11-chapter manual offers trainers an array of participatory experiential exercises to reach men (and their partners), exploring gender socialization and its impact on HIV prevention and care. Piloted in Ethiopia, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania, the manual is designed to assist master trainers in developing curricula to work with men and boys on gender, HIV and AIDS issues.

After a short background discussing the scientific rationale, chapter topics include: Gender and Power, Sexuality, Men and Health, Substance Use, Healthy Relationships, STI and HIV prevention, Living with HIV, Fatherhood, Violence and Making Change-taking Action. This educational manual allows men to question non-equitable views about masculinity and develop more positive attitudes to prevent unhealthy behaviors that put them and their partners and families at risk. It can also be used to train facilitators who will implement workshop activities with groups of men.

The activities are intended for use with men of all ages, although some adaptations might have to be made depending on the ages of the men and the country and community context. These activities can also be adapted for use with groups of men and women.
