Niveau de viabilitĂ© des districts de santĂ© de la rĂ©gion de l'ExtrĂȘme-Nord du Cameroun en 2022

Hermann Ngouakam, Goumeni Kouemaha Yannick, Ngouyombo Ange, Antaon Jesse Saint Saba · 5 authors

RĂ©sumĂ© Un district sanitaire (DS) est une zone sanitaire dĂ©centralisĂ©e, relativement autonome sur le plan opĂ©rationnel et programmatique, et couvrant l’essentiel des besoins de santĂ© d’une population entre 50 000 Ă  300 000 habitants rĂ©sidant dans ses limites gĂ©ographiques. L’atteinte des cibles de l’ODD 3 passe par la viabilisation des DS, conformĂ©ment aux rĂ©solutions arrĂȘtĂ©es Ă  Alma-Ata. L’évaluation constitue la clĂ©Ì de voute du succĂšs de tout systĂšme de santĂ© car elle permet de rĂ©vĂ©ler les lacunes des plans de santĂ© pendant leur mise en Ɠuvre. Objectif : Ă©valuer le niveau de viabilitĂ© des districts de santĂ© de la rĂ©gion de l’ExtrĂȘme-Nord du Cameroun en 2022. MĂ©thodologie : il s’agissait d’une Ă©tude semi-qualitative Ă  collecte des donnĂ©es rĂ©trospective et prospective dans onze districts de santĂ© de la rĂ©gion de l’ExtrĂȘme-Nord du Cameroun, Ă  travers un Ă©chantillonnage en grappe. Les services de santĂ© de 11 FOSA offrant le paquet complĂ©mentaire d’activitĂ© reprĂ©sentĂ© par l’hĂŽpital rĂ©gional ou un hĂŽpital de district et 22 FOSA offrant le paquet minimum d’activitĂ© (PMA), reprĂ©sentĂ©s par un centre de santĂ© intĂ©grĂ© ou un centre mĂ©dical d’arrondissement ont Ă©tĂ© enquĂȘtĂ©s. RĂ©sultats : le niveau de mise en place Ă©tait bon pour 8/11 districts de santĂ©, le niveau de mise en Ɠuvre Ă©tait moyen pour 8/11 districts de santĂ©, le niveau de rapportage des donnĂ©es Ă©tait bon pour 8/11 districts de santĂ©. Nous avons plus de 90% des bĂ©nĂ©ficiaires Ă©taient satisfaits de l’accueil, des attentes et des services reçus. La perception des prestataires de soin Ă©tait bonne pour 53,62% concernant les infrastructures et matĂ©riels, pour 47,82% concernant la motivation et pour 60,87% concernant la charge de travail. Conclusion : aprĂšs cotation, nous avons retrouvĂ© que 8/11 districts de santĂ© Ă©valuĂ©s Ă©taient en cours de viabilisation. Il y’a nĂ©cessitĂ© d’accĂ©lĂ©rer le processus si nous voulons parvenir Ă  l’atteinte des cibles de l’objectif de dĂ©veloppement durable 3 Mots clĂ©s : ViabilitĂ© – Districts de santĂ© – RĂ©gion – ExtrĂȘme-Nord du Cameroun. Abstract According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a health district (DS) is a decentralized health zone, relatively autonomous operationally and programmatically, and covering most of the health needs of a population between 50,000 and 300,000 inhabitants residing within its geographical limits. Achieving the targets of SDG 3 requires the servicing of the HDs, in fact, the district health system offers the best chance of implementing the PHC in accordance with the resolutions adopted in Alma-Ata. Evaluation is the key to the success of any health system because it reveals the shortcomings of health plans during their implementation. Since the adoption of the SDGs in 2015 by the country, no assessment of the sustainability of SDs at the country level has been carried out. Objective : To assess the viability of health districts in the Far North region of Cameroon in 2022. Methodology : This is a semi-qualitative study with retrospective and prospective data collection in the Far North region of Cameroon. Eleven health districts were selected through cluster sampling. Results : The level of implementation was good for 8/11 health districts, the level of implementation was average for 8/11 health districts, and the level of data reporting was good for 8/11 health districts. More than 90% of beneficiaries were satisfied with the reception, expectations, and services received. The perception of care providers was good for 53.62% concerning infrastructure and materials, 47.82% concerning motivation, and 60.87% concerning workload. Conclusion: After scoring, we found that 8/11 health districts assessed were in the process of being serviced. There is a need to accelerate the process if we are to achieve the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 3. Keywords : Viability – Health Districts – Region – Far North of Cameroon.

Strategies for Resource Management and Financing of Socio-Community Development Initiatives in the Municipality of Ouake in the North-West of Benin

Issa Binda, Ahonankpon Hubert Frédéric Gbaguidi, Toussaint Vigninou

After a dozen years of implementing decentralization in Benin, local development actions remain timid because of the weak mobilization of financial resources. The overall objective of this research is to contribute to a better knowledge of the strategies for mobilizing own resources for the local development of the Municipality of Ouaké. The methodological approach adopted consisted in the collection of quantitative and qualitative data. These are demographic data, planimetric data and socio-economic data from population surveys. These various data collected from 91 people were analyzed and processed in order to arrive at the results. The results obtained show that the construction of socio-community infrastructures was made thanks to the financial and technical support of development partners and then the FADEC fund. The State, the Town Hall, the projects and the development associations of the municipality have financed the construction of several economic, socio-community infrastructures and other local development initiatives. The local communities have also participated in the development thanks to individual actions and the resources mobilized within the cooperative groupings and the local workforce. However, it should be noted a low rate of mobilization of budgetary resources, the average of which is 41% from 2018 to 2022. The average recovery rate of the 22 types of resources available to the municipality of Ouaké is below 50%. This shows that the actors have difficulties in mobilizing the municipality's own resources. It was thus devoted to these two lines only, for the nine years considered, an amount of 376,967,075 CFA francs out of a total operating expenditure of 555,625,774 CFA francs, i.e. more than 67.84% of operating expenses. From 2014 to 2022, four main investment lines absorb 851,979,521 CFA francs out of the total estimated investments of 1,179,157,828 CFA francs, or more than 72.25% of all investments made.

Financing Local Development Projects through Decentralized Cooperation in Yopougon (Cote d’Ivoire)

Abodou Athanase Adomon

Between 2000 and 2011, the military-political and civil crises undermined the implementation of various local development projects in Cîte d’Ivoire. After crises, funding difficulties became even more acute. Decentralized communities, which have already been faced with shrinking budgets since 1980, are struggling to meet the needs expressed by local people. Faced with such a reality, decentralized cooperation would seem to be an effective and appropriate approach. However, this approach remains unknown and unexplored by the majority of elected officials in Cîte d’Ivoire. The objective of the article is to show that in the Abidjan District Municipality of Yopougon, decentralized cooperation has made it possible to finance and implement development projects at the local level.

Financement De La Caisse De Solidarité Du District Sanitaire De Youwarou Au Mali : Une Revue Systématique De Littérature

S Kanté, Ousmane Sylla, Valeria Campos Da Silveira, Ousmane Ibrahim Touré · 5 authors

Objectif : Evaluer le mĂ©canisme de financement de la caisse de solidaritĂ© dans le cadre du systĂšme de rĂ©fĂ©rence-Ă©vacuation du district sanitaire de Youwarou. MĂ©thode : Il s’agit d’une revue systĂ©matique de la littĂ©rature rĂ©alisĂ©e du 1er Mai au 30 Juin 2017 sur le district de Youwarou. Les donnĂ©es sont issues de la littĂ©rature accessible sur internet et de la littĂ©rature grise (plans d’actions, documents de politique, rapports) disponible au Mali. Les moteurs de recherche PUBMED et Google scholar ont Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ©s. Les informations ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©pertoriĂ©es dans les rubriques suivantes : i) contexte, ii) processus, iii) contenu et iv) acteurs selon le modĂšle proposĂ© par Gilson et European Scientific Journal, ESJ ISSN: 1857-7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857-7431 January 2021 edition Vol.17, No.3 www.eujournal.org 191 Walt. RĂ©sultat : Le financement de la caisse de solidaritĂ© lancĂ© en 2006 a connu d’énormes insuffisances de financement, ainsi le taux de paiement des quotes-parts de 2006 Ă  2009, Ă©tait de 43% pour les mairies, 73% pour les ASACO et de 15% pour le conseil de cercle. MalgrĂ© la rĂ©vision en 2013 ayant abouti au scĂ©nario de paiement par les mĂ©nages, le taux de paiement n’était que de 12%. Conclusion : Le dĂ©ficit de financement de la caisse de solidaritĂ© du systĂšme de rĂ©fĂ©rence-Ă©vacuation est liĂ© au faible engagement et de contribution des collectivitĂ©s dĂ©centralisĂ©es et des associations de santĂ© communautaire. Un plaidoyer auprĂšs des acteurs communautaires pour plus d’engagement de mobilisation des ressources au niveau des collectivitĂ©s rurales en vue d’assurer un systĂšme de rĂ©fĂ©rence Ă©vacuation fiable et rĂ©duire ainsi les dĂ©cĂšs maternels et nĂ©onataux. Objective: Evaluate the financing mechanism of the solidarity fund within the framework of the referral-evacuation system of the Youwarou health district. Method: This is a systematic review of the literature carried out from May 1 to June 30, 2017 in the district of Youwarou. The data are resulted of the literature available on the internet and gray literature (action plans, policy documents, reports) available in Mali. The PUBMED and European Scientific Journal, ESJ ISSN: 1857-7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857-7431 January 2021 edition Vol.17, No.3 www.eujournal.org 192 Google scholar search engines were used. The information has been listed under the following headings: i) context, ii) process, iii) content and iv) actors according to the model proposed by Gilson and Walt. Result: The financing of the solidarity fund launched in 2006 experienced enormous funding shortfalls, so the rate of payment of quotas from 2006 to 2009 was 43% for municipalities, 73% for ASACOs and 15% for the circle council. Despite the revision in 2013 that resulted in the household payment scenario, the payment rate was only 12%. Conclusion: The financing deficit of the solidarity fund of the referral-evacuation system is linked to the weak commitment and contribution of decentralized communities and community health associations. Advocacy with community actors for more commitment to mobilize resources at the level of rural communities in order to ensure a reliable referral-evacuation system and thus reduce maternal and neonatal deaths.

Decentralized cooperation and Millennium Development Goals : challenges and perspectives in the sub-Saharan French-speaking space

Brice Kombo

La nĂ©cessaire lutte contre la pauvretĂ© dĂ©coule d'un constat troublant : la richesse combinĂ©e des quinze personnes les plus riches de la planĂšte est supĂ©rieure Ă  la valeur annuelle cumulĂ©e de la production de biens /services de l'ensemble des pays de l'Afrique subsaharienne. 20% de la population mondiale consomme plus de 80% des ressources disponibles sur la surface de la terre. Ce double constat rĂ©vĂšle l'ampleur des efforts Ă  accomplir pour rĂ©pondre au dĂ©fi des objectifs du millĂ©naire pour le dĂ©veloppement (OMD). La responsabilitĂ© des Etats est Ă©videmment engagĂ©e mais les solutions sont plus Ă  rechercher au niveau des villes et des territoires. Au plus proche des habitants, les autoritĂ©s locales peuvent et doivent jouer un rĂŽle de catalyseur du dĂ©veloppement. Il revient aux citoyens des territoires confrontĂ©s aux problĂšmes de sous-dĂ©veloppement d'imaginer et de proposer ces solutions locales. La coopĂ©ration dĂ©centralisĂ©e contribue Ă  la recherche et Ă  l'invention de telles politiques territoriales : cadre de dialogue privilĂ©giĂ© entre gouvernements locaux. DĂ©finie comme un partenariat entre autoritĂ©s locales de nationalitĂ©s diffĂ©rentes, cette coopĂ©ration dĂ©centralisĂ©e permet un partage d'expĂ©riences – micro finance, dĂ©centralisation, bonne gouvernance etc. En clair, tous les espoirs peuvent s'inviter dans la symbiose « CoopĂ©ration dĂ©centralisĂ©e et Objectifs du MillĂ©naire pour le DĂ©veloppement», en tenant compte de leurs enjeux et perspectives dans l'espace francophone subsaharien.

Rural Decentralization In Burkina Faso : Local Level Institutions and Poverty Eradication

Paula Donnelly-Roark, Karim Ouedrago

The note focuses on the leading role of
\n local level institutions (LLIs) in Burkina Faso, in rural
\n decentralization, and poverty eradication, to enhance
\n equitable prosperity. It is based on the study undertaken by
\n the National Decentralization Commission in Burkina Faso,
\n which draws on case studies in Sanmatenga, Sissili, Houet,
\n and Yatenga, and, presents sociological evidence that
\n certain high-performing LLIs contribute to equitable
\n economic development. Economic findings support this,
\n showing that both lower inequality levels, and lower poverty
\n levels, are linked to a high degree of internal village
\n organization. Contextually, LLIs surround, connect, and
\n manage communities, incorporating many different kinds of
\n indigenous organizations, and functions. Three categories of
\n institutions active at the local level are identified: value
\n institutions, which focus on activating, and maintaining the
\n stability of local governance, and values of the society;
\n production institutions, focused on accessing resources from
\n the national government, so as to increase productivity;
\n and, service-asset management institutions, which integrate
\n productivity, and growth values, focused on managing, and
\n expanding local assets for sustainable development. External
\n aid will need to map these LLIs to guide pro-poor
\n investment, and financing of community driven development,
\n and encourage local governments to formalize participation.
