Module de formation des Relais Communautaires

La prise en charge des maladies au niveau communautaire vise à améliorer l’état de santé des populations particulièrement celui des enfants et des femmes enceintes par la promotion de bonnes pratiques familiales et communautaires.

La réduction de la morbidité et de la mortalité au niveau communautaire nécessite la disponibilité de services de santé adéquats avec un personnel bien formé. Les familles sont les premiers responsables de leur prise en charge. La réussite des actions visant à réduire le nombre de décès au sein des communautés, nécessite un partenariat entre les agents de santé et les familles, avec la pleine participation de ces communautés.

En effet le personnel de santé et les agents de santé communautaire s’assurent que les familles peuvent aussi faire des soins appropriés à domicile. Les familles aussi doivent pouvoir réagir convenablement en cas de maladie en administrant des traitements recommandés. Il est important que la prise en charge des maladies implique les familles et les communautés.

Le présent manuel est destiné à la formation des Relais Communautaires. Il comprend 10 thématiques qui sont :

  • santé de la mère du nouveau-né et de l’enfant
  • éducation et soins pour le développement de l’enfant
  • violences basées sur le genre
  • nutrition
  • eau-hygiène-assainissement
  • lutte contre les maladies
  • maladies non transmissible
  • communication
  • monitorage, suivi et rapportage
  • gestion des médicaments et les annexes

C’est un document de référence pour tous les programmes de santé du pays.

Keep It Simple: A Lesson in Linking Teens to Sexual Health Care – Video and Lesson Plan

This is a brief 45 minute lesson plan designed to help link young men and women, ages 15-19, to trusted, “teen friendly” contraceptive and reproductive healthcare providers.

It reasons why adolescents don’t typically access services that include: gaps in knowledge about their right to care, services and contraceptive methods available to them, and the location of healthcare providers that can meet their unique needs in the community. The module was developed “for teens by teens” and includes a short motion graphic that can be shared online as a stand-alone product to facilitate greater access, improve awareness of birth control methods available to teens, and promote linkage to care.

Learning for Life: Classroom Activities for HIV and AIDS Education

All Together Now! Community Mobilization for HIV/AIDS

This is part one of a two-part community mobilization toolkit for HIV/AIDS that helps communities to become actively and influentially involved in addressing the causes and effects of HIV and AIDS.The resources are:

• All Together Now! Community mobilization for HIV/AIDS guides you through the process of mobilizing communities to address HIV prevention, care, support, impact mitigation and treatment for those affected by HIV and AIDS.
• Tools Together Now! 100 participatory tools to mobilize communities for HIV/AIDS is a set of participatory exercises designed to help put All Together Now! into practice.

This resource, “All Together Now”, describes the process of community mobilization. Community mobilization is a capacity-building process through which individuals, groups or organizations plan, carry out and evaluate activities on a participatory and sustained basis to improve their health and other needs, either on their own initiative or stimulated by others. The toolkit covers how to encourage community mobilization for prevention, care, support and treatment activities. It uses tried and tested approaches to help you facilitate communities to become actively involved in the assessment, design, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and scaling up of HIV/AIDS projects and programs.

This toolkit is intended to help organizations and community groups mobilize and work together to address HIV/AIDS issues. Whether these issues relate to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS, or mitigating the negative impact of HIV/AIDS on affected communities, this toolkit will be of use, and can also assist those wishing to support communities to assess the local HIV/AIDS situation: to plan, act, monitor, evaluate, reflect or scale up HIV/AIDS activities. The tools will be most helpful for people working directly with communities affected by HIV/AIDS. However, any organization working broadly on HIV/AIDS should find the toolkit useful.

Suaahara Nepal Project

Suaahara was an integrated nutrition project (2011-2016) that worked in 41 underserved districts in Nepal to improve the health and well-being of the Nepali people by focusing on the nutritional status of women and children under the age of two years. CCP partnered with Save the Children; Helen Keller International; Jhpiego; Nepali Technical Assistance Group; Nepal Water for Health; and the Nutrition Promotion and Consultancy Service.

Suaahara means good nutrition, or “a good balanced diet is the strong foundation protecting our lives.” As part of the implementing team, CCP supported strategic social and behavior change communication initiatives that build on this message and model behavior change to lead to improved maternal, infant and child nutrition.

In close coordination with Nepal government, the team created Bhanchhin Aama (Mother knows best), which served as the basis for a campaign for mass and community media. Bhanchhin Aama is a trusted, knowledgeable friendly mother-in-law character who models and promotes positive behavior change.
