Preventing the Spread of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Benin

This initiative aims to address the deficit of individual and collective practices in the prevention and identification of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) by the populations of areas at risk in Benin 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 and other infectious diseases among health workers authorities and local stakeholders.

The project ultimately aims to reduce the risk of spread of Ebola virus disease (EVD) and other infectious diseases in areas at risk of Ouémé Atlantique and Littoral departments in Benin 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.
