Community Facets of the Project:
Community actions, put into operation by three NGO's: ASOS, SALFA, and CARE, are targeted at having the communities be aware of their responsibilities on a perpetual basis; each community would be accountable for the prevention and treatment of malaria, making sure that information and health supplies/products are accessible.
Specific Objectives:
During a five year period:
- 60% of the targeted population (pregnant women and children less than five years of age) will sleep
- 75% of children less than five years of age who are afflicted by fever/malaria will receive the appropriate treatment (palustop) within 24 hours after the initial occurrence of symptoms;
- 60% of pregnant women will receive prophylactic treatment against malaria during their pregnancy
