Le mémoire porte sur la conception et la mise en œuvre d’une campagne de communication pour promouvoir la chimio-prévention du paludisme saisonnier (CPS) chez les enfants de 3 à 59 mois au Cameroun, une stratégie recommandée par l’OMS dans les zones de forte transmission saisonnière. L’...auteure part du constat que, malgré l’introduction de la CPS dans certaines régions camerounaises, sa mise en œuvre reste confrontée à une faible appropriation communautaire, à des résistances sociales et à un manque de communication adaptée.
L’objectif du travail est de concevoir une stratégie de communication sociale et comportementale visant à renforcer l’adhésion des communautés à cette intervention. Le mémoire s’appuie sur une analyse situationnelle approfondie, intégrant des données épidémiologiques, socioculturelles et communicationnelles. Il propose ensuite une campagne ciblée, articulée autour de messages clairs, de canaux adaptés (radios communautaires, agents de santé, leaders locaux) et de supports visuels compréhensibles.
La campagne vise à sensibiliser les parents, en particulier les mères, sur les avantages de la CPS, à corriger les fausses croyances, à encourager l’observance du traitement, et à renforcer la confiance envers les agents communautaires. Le document inclut un plan opérationnel, des outils de suivi-évaluation et une stratégie de pérennisation.
En conclusion, le mémoire souligne l’importance d’une communication contextualisée et participative pour améliorer la couverture et l’efficacité de la chimio-prévention du paludisme chez les enfants au Cameroun.
