Abstract
The project’s behavior change strategy supported the efforts of the Government of Burkina Faso in the fight against the spread of COVID-19. Activities were carried out in close collaboration with the Regional Health Directorate of the North Central Region in the health districts of Kaya and Tougouri. The strategy relied on the leadership and engagement of community actors, numerous demonstrations of hand washing station construction, and radio campaigns. This poster describes adapting ViMPlus WASH activities during COVID-19, adaptations, results, and challenges.
