Background The increase of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across Africa has become a major public health concern, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality which exerts significant strain on the already burdened health systems. Community-based interventions (CBIs) offer a strategy to address these diseases but evidence remains scattered on their effectiveness, contextual factors that enable or hinder their implementation.
Introduction Indoor residual spraying is a key strategy in the control against malaria, which still remains a devastating public health challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa. It was recommended by the World Health Organization, yet its effectiveness is still being compromised by low community uptake. Unlike other malaria interventions, indoor residual spraying is intrusive and requires entry into private household spaces and substantial domestic preparation.
