Scaling Up Malaria Prevention For Impact In Cameroon

Cameroon is participating in the scaling up malaria prevention for impact, within the Global Fund Round 9 Program. To achieve this, the Cameroon national malaria program launched a vast training workshop in all ten regions of the country with the involvement of civil society organisations (CSO) and community based organisations (CBO).
In the littoral region, where the head office of Cameroon Link is implanted, Dr. Fondjo Etienne, Sibetcheu Daniel, Biyik and Dr. Noufack Gertrude Bita, were charged as central supervisor with Dr. Bita Fouda as the generl supervisor of the training in Douala, economic capital of Cameroon.
During the training, Dr. Fondjio Etienne, videoed on camlink99 YouTube said 8.654.731 long duration impregnated mosquito nets are targeted for distribution from August 20, 2011 within 6 days throughout the national territory at the same time. The official launching of the national campaign to kick out mosquitoes from communities will be launched by the head of state, President Paul Biya.
The training organized throughout Cameroon on the campaign aims at informing, educating, communicating and share experiences on how the exercise would be effected without a hitch. Regional facilitators and supervisors have been trained and it was the turn of the leaders of the Civil Society Organisations and Community Based Organisations to be capacity on the message to take to the populations during the campaign.
The first phase will consist of counting the beneficiaries of the impregnated mosquito nets of long duration, to document the number of vouchers that will be distributed in exchange of the nets when the time comes. In affect, all households will be visited by persons recruited as social mobilizers and and registrars during the campaign. Officially opening the training in Douala, Dr. Bita Fouda cautioned the participants that the campaign must be of high quality, since all development target groups have been associated to the exercise on the field. This video has been brought to you by Cameroon Link for sharing. This is the largest and most expensive malaria campaign that Cameroon has ever had. Cameroon Link was selected as the civil society organisation to monitor the campaign in Bonassama coordinated by Dr. Nzima Nzima Valery, Health District Chief Medical Officer.
