La vaccination est l’un des programmes de santé publique qui a fait ses preuves dans le contrôle et l’éradication de pathologies mortelles ayant affecté le monde. Au Bénin, les bonnes performances vaccinales réalisées par le pays dans la mise en œuvre des activités du Programme Elargi de Vaccination (PEV) ont permis de réduire sensiblement l’incidence des maladies évitables par la vaccination (diphtérie, coqueluche, fièvre jaune, Rougeole, etc.), d’éliminer le tétanos néonatal et d’arrêter la circulation du poliovirus sauvage depuis 2009. Cependant, depuis quelques années, on note une stagnation voire une régression des performances du pays accentué par la pandémie de la COVID-19 qui a secoué le pays courant 2020-2021. Selon les estimations du WUENIC, depuis 2016, la couverture du pays en Penta3 est restée stagnante à 76% avec une régression à 69% en 2023.

Face à cette situation, des initiatives et approches innovantes sont en cours au niveau de pays pour inverser les tendances en matière de vaccination et réduire le nombre d’enfants zéro-doses ont été entreprises par le Ministère de la santé dont l’extension sur système logistique optimisé.

Globally, millions of girls face significant barriers to education due to inadequate menstrual hygiene management (MHM). Guyana is no exception, with disparities in access to menstrual hygiene products, sanitation facilities, and awareness about menstruation being particularly pronounced in rural, riverine, and hinterland communities
In many of these communities, adolescent girls struggle with the lack of access to private, clean, and safe sanitation facilities, coupled with limited access to affordable menstrual hygiene products. These challenges often result in absenteeism, school dropouts, and a perpetuation of gender-based educational disparities.
