                                                                La République démocratique du Congo (RDC) occupe la 2ème place en termes de nombre de cas de paludisme et de décès associés dans le monde (12% des cas et 13% des décès), et représente à elle seule 54,6% des cas en Afrique centrale (OMS, Rapport Mondial sur la situation du paludisme 2022). ...La coordination des activités de changement social et comportemental entre les partenaires dans le pays reste un défi.
Une stratégie nationale solide de lutte contre le paludisme est essentielle pour coordonner et amplifier les efforts de lutte contre le paludisme dans toute la RDC. Breakthrough ACTION a joué un rôle central dans l’élaboration et la finalisation de la Stratégie nationale de SBC contre le paludisme 2024-2028, qui s’aligne sur le Plan stratégique national de lutte contre le paludisme 2024-2028. Cette mise à jour de la Stratégie nationale de lutte contre le paludisme intègre des conseils sur l’introduction du vaccin antipaludique en RDC, des informations clés issues des récentes études de recherche sur le paludisme menées par Breakthrough ACTION, ainsi que des messages de santé prioritaires actualisés destinés aux hommes, aux prestataires de services, aux femmes enceintes et aux femmes ayant des enfants de moins de cinq ans.

It is not essential, however, to work through the I-Kit from start to finish. Users can choose to focus on specific aspects for which they need support in their emergency communication... response. The nine units and corresponding worksheets are outlined in the I-Kit Site Navigator.

The data provided a cross-sectional look at the current HIV KAB among yo...uth, and allowed for changes over time to be detected when analyzing these data against the results of the 2006 Youth BSS.

The economic costs of NCDs are significant and are due principally to their impact on the non-health sector (reduced workforce and productivity). In this study, it is estimated that NCDs cost Ethiop...ia at least 31.3 billion birr (US$ 1.1 billion) per year, equivalent to 1.8% of the gross domestic product (GDP). Less than 15% of the costs are for health care.

Injury Pr...evention and Environmental Health addresses the risk factors and presents updated data on the burden, as well as economic analyses of platforms and packages for delivering cost-effective and feasible interventions in these settings. The volume's contributors demonstrate that implementation of a range of prevention strategies-presented in an essential package of interventions and policies-could achieve a convergence in death and disability rates that would avert more than 7.5 million deaths a year.

It is int...ended for all stakeholders and implementing partners, with the aim of ensuring harmonised messaging and coordinated communication efforts. The guide outlines strategies, key messages, communication channels and target audiences, with a focus on sustaining and improving malaria-related behaviours at the individual, family and community levels. It incorporates malaria stratification and supports the development of tailored SBCC interventions in different risk areas. Developed with contributions from the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the National Malaria Control Programme and various partner organisations, the guide aims to reduce the malaria burden and promote a malaria-free Tanzania. Supplemented by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), the guide serves as a practical tool for consistent and effective malaria communication nationwide.
