Le Plan Stratégique National de Lutte contre le Paludisme de la RDC vise à renforcer la communication pour le changement social et comportemental (CSC/CCC) dans la lutte contre le paludisme. Il a pour objectif d’améliorer les connaissances, attitudes et pratiques des populations pour encourager... l’adoption de comportements préventifs et curatifs.
Ce document propose une stratégie de communication structurée, basée sur une analyse contextuelle des comportements, croyances et obstacles sociaux. Il cible en priorité les femmes enceintes, les enfants de moins de cinq ans, les agents communautaires, les leaders religieux, les enseignants, et les médias. Les messages sont adaptés aux réalités locales et diffusés par des canaux variés : radios communautaires, théâtre, affiches, séances éducatives, et implication des leaders d'opinion.
Le plan insiste sur l’importance de la mobilisation sociale, de l’approche participative et du dialogue communautaire pour renforcer l’adhésion aux pratiques comme l’utilisation des moustiquaires imprégnées, le recours au test de diagnostic rapide, l’observance des traitements, et la fréquentation des centres de santé. Il prévoit aussi des mécanismes de suivi-évaluation et de renforcement des capacités des acteurs.
En résumé, ce document constitue un cadre opérationnel pour rendre la communication plus efficace, inclusive et durable dans la lutte contre le paludisme en RDC.
