Setting up 1000 community health clubs

The Burkina Faso government, through the Ministry of Health with the support of its partners (local authorities; Ministry of National Education, Literacy and the Promotion of National Languages; Ministry of Secondary Education, Vocational and Technical Training; Ministry of Agriculture, Animal and Fisheries Resources; Ministry of the Environment, Water and Sanitation; and technical and financial partners), committed to setting up 541 community health clubs by 2024 and is further committed to adding 1,000 more, for a total of 1,541 community health clubs by 2028. This goal is included in the national community health strategy to strengthen the multisectoral approach to malnutrition prevention. This commitment will make it possible to address at the community level the issues of nutrition; health; water, hygiene and sanitation; the economy; risk pooling; agriculture; schooling; and literacy. To do this, the following actions must be implemented:

• Disseminate the reference documents for the implementation of the community health strategy.

• Strengthen the capacity of stakeholders on the mechanism, the process of setting up clubs as well as their functioning.

• Ensure the supervision of the actors within the framework of the functionality of the health clubs.

• Ensure regular monitoring of data related to these clubs.

Monitoring will be done annually through activity reports.
