Implementation of public policy on Covid-19 in African countries

 

​

We are conducting a survey as part of a pilot project to identify examples of public health policy implementation for prevention, mitigation, and control of COVID-19 in African countries. This research examines three types of non-pharmaceutical interventions that have been implemented as part of the public policy response to COVID-19: security policy (curfew), physical distancing policy (by setting, such as schools, places of worship, markets, transportation, and bars/restaurants), and behavioural policy (mask/face covering wearing).

 

The study will assess interventions implemented in African countries to provide a snapshot of challenges and innovations, accompanied by in-depth analysis to inform policy adaptation – looking at issues related to stakeholder engagement, communication, and acceptability. 

 

Methodologically, the project uses an open and networked approach to collect, collate and circulate innovations that highlight African health expertise. 

 

The questionnaire targets the expertise of professionals in the field, decision-makers, administrators, and researchers from various types of organizations (public, private, non-governmental) as well as from different policy sectors (health, social affairs, development, education, home affairs, transport, economy, etc.) related to the three types of intervention on Covid19.

 

Please complete the questionnaire below if you wish to contribute details on public policy implementation for your country (or a country in which you work). The results on interventions collected through this research will be published on www.covid19afrique.com.
