Community dialogues in Zambia - in pictures
Approx reading time:
The success of health interventions hinges on the involvement of affected communities. One method of encouraging engagement is through community dialogues, which gather villagers to discuss and find local solutions to health challenges.
Malaria Consortium has supported integrated community case management (iCCM) interventions to address the three biggest killers of children under five in Zambia: pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria. Activities have been supplemented with community dialogues which are led by trained community health workers (CHWs), in order to raise awareness of the new health services available, and improve timely care-seeking in case of child sickness.
Check out the photos below to hear about community dialogues from members of two communities in Mwense district, Zambia.
