Citizen Action for Sustainable Dengue Control in Sub-Saharan Africa

This project will foster active engagement with community stakeholders, including healthcare workers, community leaders, and other key informants, through participatory meetings aimed at co-creating and developing larval source reduction measures tailored to community's needs. This method emphasizes a participatory framework, ensuring that interventions are both community-informed and culturally relevant.

Furthermore, the project intends to determine whether the addition of cost-effective, gravid female mosquito-targeting traps, specifically two Biogents Gravid Aedes Traps (BG-GAT) per household, can improve the overall success of these community-based intervention.

The community-based interventions and the BG-GAT deployment will be evaluated in combination to assess their individual and synergistic effects on vector control. This dual strategy combines local participation and practical, evidence-based solutions to address mosquito-borne illness transmission.
