  • 1° Au Nord Par Les Communes De Makala, Selembao, Lemba Et Kisenso
    limitée : 1° Au nord par les communes de Makala, Selembao, Lemba et Kisenso ; 2° Au Sud par le territoire de Kasangulu (Bas-Congo) ; 3° A l’Est par les communes de N’djili, Kimbanseke et N’sele ; 4° A l’Ouest par la commune de Ngaliema et la République du Congo. La commune de Mont-Ngafula a une vocation agro-pastorale et touristique. Cependant, elle éprouve d’énormes difficultés pour la réhabilitation de routes de desserte agricole et la répartition des ponts. La commune de Ngaliema (Carte 11) est créée le 12 Octobre 1957 par l’arrêté n° 21/429 du 12 Octobre 1957 du gouverneur de la province de la ville de Léopoldville fixant le nom, les limites des communes et les annexes de la ville de Kinshasa, alors Léopoldville, avec Monsieur Wery René comme premier bourgmestre. La commune doit son appellation à un ressortissant du Congo Brazzaville, Ngaliema Insi, qui avait traversé le pool Malebo et s’est installé au mont Ngaliema après avoir vaincu Lingwala qui s’y trouvait. Monsieur Ngaliema est resté au mont Ngaliema jusqu'à l’arrivée de monsieur Henry Morton Stanley avec qui il a signé le « traité de fraternité" en 1881. Elle est l’une des 24 communes de la ville de Kinshasa, avec 526.231 habitants concentrés dans une superficie de 224,30 km², soit une densité de 2346 habitants par kilomètre carré. Elle est subdivisée en 21 quartiers. Elle est classée deuxième en population et quatrième en superficie. 100 KATALAYI MOTOMBO ǀ Hilaire ǀ Thèse pour le doctorat en géographie | 2014 Carte 11 : Présentation de la commune de Ngaliema Cette commune est bornée au Nord par le fleuve Congo (la séparant de la République du Congo) et les communes de Kintambo et de la Gombe ; à l’Est par les communes de Bandalugwua et de Selembao ; à l’Ouest et au Sud par la commune de Mont-Ngafula.

This study aimed to determine the scope of household, accessibility to malaria care and factors associated with household malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Methods: This was a community‑based cross‑sectional study conducted in an urban and a rural sites in which 152 households participated, including 82 urban and 70 rural households (1029 members in total). The ‘malaria indicator questionnaire’ (MIQ) was anonymously answered by household heads (respondents), reporting on malaria status of household members in the last 12 months. Results: There were 67.8% of households using insecticide‑treated bed nets (ITN) only, 14.0% used indoor residual spraying (IRS) only, 7.3% used ordinary bed nets (without insecticide treatment), 1.4% used mosquito repelling cream, 2.2% combined ITN and IRS, whereas 7.3% of households did not employ any preventive measure; p < 0.01). In addi‑ tion, 96.7% of households were afected by malaria (at least one malaria case), and malaria frequency per household was relatively high (mean: 4.5 3.1 cases reported) in the last 12 months.

Global Health Management and Policy, Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, 1440 Canal St, Suite 1900, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Downloaded from Accepted on 4 March 2016 Abstract While geographic information systems (GIS) are frequently used to research accessibility issues http://heapol.oxfordjournals.org/ for healthcare services around the world, sophisticated spatial analysis protocols and outputs often prove inappropriate and unsustainable to support evidence-based programme strategies in re- source-constrained environments. This article examines how simple, open-source and interactive GIS tools have been used to locate family planning (FP) services delivery points in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) and to identify underserved areas, determining the potential loca- tion of new service points, and to support advocacy for FP programmes. Using smartphone-based data collection applications (OpenDataKit), we conducted two surveys of FP facilities supported by partner organizations in 2012 and 2013 and used the results to assess gaps in FP services coverage, using both ratio of facilities per population and distance-based accessibility criteria.
