Preventing the spread of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Burkina Faso

This initiative wants to address the deficit in individual and collective practices in the prevention and identification of the EVD and other infectious diseases by the populations of areas at risk including through prevention and community mobilization campaigns. The initiative also wants to address the shortcomings in terms of prevention detection and protection in case of EVD among health workers authorities and local stakeholders.

The project ultimately aims to reduce the risk of spread of EVD and infectious diseases in areas at risk of Cascades and Hauts-Bassins regions in Burkina Faso by 1) strengthening good practices in the prevention and identification of EVD and other infectious diseases by people in areas at risk; and 2) improving the capacity of health workers authorities and local stakeholders in terms of prevention detection and protection in connection with the EVD and other infectious diseases.
