(DMPA-SC) in Benin
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Introduction of Community-Based Provision of Subcutaneous Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA-SC) in Benin: Programmatic Results Tishina Okegbe,a Jean Affo,b Florence Djihoun,b Alexis Zannou,b Odilon Hounyo,b Gaston Ahounou,c Karamatou Adegnika Bangbola,c Nancy Harrisd Lay community health workers and facility-based health care providers in Benin were trained to administer DMPA-SC safely and effectively in 10 health zones. Community-based DMPA-SC was popular, particularly among new users of contraception, and could help the country achieve its family planning goals. Résumé en français à la fin de l'article. ABSTRACT The Republic of Benin faces high maternal, newborn, and child mortality; low modern contraceptive use; and a critical shortage of health workers. In 2013, the Government of Benin made 3 reproductive health commitments to improve national health indicators, in- cluding expanding provision of family planning services at the community level through task sharing. Since 2016, the Advancing Partners & Communities (APC) project has been helping the Benin Ministry of Health (MOH) provide subcutaneous depot medroxypro- gesterone acetate (DMPA-SC; brand name Sayana Press) through facility-based health care providers and community health workers known as relais communautaires (RCs). DMPA-SC is an easy-to-administer, discreet injectable contraceptive that provides 3 months of protection from pregnancy. Beginning in May 2017, the government introduced DMPA-SC through a phased approach in 10 health zones, which encompassed 149 health centers and 614 villages. Between June 2017 and June 2018, the MOH and APC trained 278 facility-based providers and 917 RCs to provide DMPA-SC, and nearly 11,000 doses were subsequently administered to 7,997 women at facilities and in communities.

Examine its effect on Anopheles parameters involved in transmission may predict the potential malaria hotspot as a right target for its control intervention strategies. Here, we investigated the inuence of meteorological parameters on the aggressiveness and infectivity of Anopheles in two health districts zones where IRS has been extended in Northern Benin. Methods: Mosquito collections were carried out using human landing catches to evaluate rates of aggression and infectivity in twelve villages. Concomitantly, meteorological data from synoptic stations of Benin and neighbouring countries were collected in 2016-2017. Results: The spatial distribution of infective bites of An. gambiae is characterized by an intense aggression in the rural villages of the study area. Analysis of variances showed signicant HBR difference according to the period but not according to the locality.

Establishing a Radioimmunoassay Service for the Management of Endemic Goitre in Benin
September 2011 September 2010 Establishing a radioimmunoassay service for the management of endemic goitre in Benin The challenge… Endemic goitre is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, often associated with a lack of iodine in the diet. There is a high incidence of goitre in the Collines and Donga Provinces of Benin. Goitre is also aggravated by the consumption of cassava (a root vegetable), which is a source of thiocyanates. More than 20% of children aged 6–12 and over 10% of the total population of Collines and Donga Provinces suffer from endemic goitre. The sickness can lead to a drop in intellectual capacity and even cretinism (neonatal hypothyroidism). To avoid goitre, a daily dose of 35–120 mg of iodine is recommended. The project… Under an IAEA technical cooperation project, the first radioimmunoassay (RIA) service in Benin has been set up. The centre uses in vitro nuclear medicine techniques for the detection and management of endemic goitre. With IAEA assistance, nuclear medicine services have been introduced and RIA services established. Training has been delivered in the various RIA techniques, including good laboratory practices and quality assurance/quality control. Practical training was provided through fellowships and scientific visits for setting up and operating tumour marker services. Twenty social workers have been trained in epidemiology and the evolution of endemic goitre, and 12 doctors have received training on recent developments in the management of patients suffering endemic goitre. The project also provided the equipment and consumables necessary for the successful implementation of the project. The impact… The impact… As well as establishing the first RIA service in Benin that uses in vitro nuclear medicine techniques for the detection and management of endemic goitre, the project has also supported the creation of linkages between five local health centres (Bantè, Bassila, Dassa, Djougou and Savalou).

Final Report
US PRESIDENT’S MALARIA INITIATIVE ACTION TO REINFORCE MALARIA VECTOR CONTROL PROGRAM IN BENIN Monitoring and Evaluation of the efficacy of the third year of Indoor Residual Spraying in Alibori and Donga, northern Benin, West Africa Final report Final report: September 2018- September 2019 Coordinator: Professor Martin C. Akogbéto Assistant: Albert S. Salako, MSc., PhD student, CREC/UAC Collaboration: National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) Doc/CREC/PMI/USAID/Nov 2019 Page 1 of 39 1. Introduction Implementation of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) in Benin since 2008 was accompanied by a drastic reduction in Entomological Inoculation Rate (EIR) (Padonou et al., 2011, Aïkpon et al., 2013, Akogbeto et al., 2015). After 6 years of the IRS in the Atacora region, Benin decided to temporarily stop this intervention in certain districts to avoid the emergence of the vector resistance and to extend IRS in other regions. As part of Benin’s Insecticide Resistance Management strategy, IRS was withdrawn after 6 years of implementation. The temporary stopping of IRS may reduce the emergence of the insecticide resistance by limiting the selection pressures on mosquitoes carrying resistance genes. Another reason for Indoor Residual Spraying withdrawal from Atacora is to offer an opportunity for other communities to be covered by IRS. Since May 2017, eight districts were retained in Atacora, Alibori and Donga regions for entomological monitoring of the IRS campaign. During the first and second year of the IRS, significant reduction in Entomological Inoculation Rate (EIR) and a change in biting behavior of the main vector was observed in sprayed areas. In 2019, IRS was renewed in 6 districts (Alibori and Donga) with complete withdrawal of this intervention from Atacora (Kerou and Pehunco).

Climate Variability and the ‘Yora’ Rural Community in the Commune of Djougou, Donga Department, in the North-West of Benin
International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS) ISSN (P): 2319–393X; ISSN (E): 2319–3948 Vol. 9, Issue 5, Jul–Dec 2020; 91–98 © IASET CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND THE ‘YORA’ RURAL COMMUNITY IN THE COMMUNE OF DJOUGOU, DONGA DEPARTMENT, IN THE NORTH-WEST OF BENIN Ibrahima KPEKPASSI 1, Abdoul Ramane ABDOULAYE 2 & Aboudou Ramanou ABOUDOU YACOUBOU M 3 1Research Scholar, Doctoral School, “Agronomic Sciences and Water”, Benin 2,3 Research Scholar, Department of Geography and Regional Planning, FLASH, University of Parakou, Benin ABSTRACT The commune of Djougou is located in the department of Donga in the northwest of Benin, subjected to a dry season and a rainy season; it is inhabited by several sociolinguistic groups including the "yowa". These people live from agriculture and produce "nu ŋa" yams, millet "z ᴐpela", beans "tura", sorghum "z ᴐ" ... Nevertheless the staple food is sorghum "z ᴐ". The customs of "yowa" are based on prohibitions, the violation of which is considered sacrilege "kpimma-səmas ə" which can cause drought "kparam". From the analysis of the results of our interviews during the surveys, it emerges that the "yowa" perceive the effects of climate variability interpret them according to their ancestral deities. All the harvests are closed with the grandiose sorghum festival "z ᴐlali", as a thank you to the ancestors. For example, the consumption of the new yam is conditioned by the authorization of the "b əha" deities who eat it first. This is the "Gnakr ə". In case of drought, the causes and remedies are identified according to beliefs. The "yora" can recognize by signs the transition from one season to another.
