This project included four mass publicity campaigns centered on public health and COVID-19 vaccine awareness. Twenty volunteers were trained to raise awareness among the communities of Sud-Comoé about the danger of COVID-19 and to explain the benefits of vaccination. The campaigns reached 1,000 people in vulnerable communities. The project also included a workshop to inform participants of the local COVID-19 health vaccination systems. More than 200 communication tool kits were distributed to local community actors trained on how to effectively share news about the COVID-19 vaccine.
