Abstract

The diarrheic diseases, the acute respiratory infections and the malaria are responsible for the morbidity in subequatorial Africa and particularly in Ivory Coast. In the optics to establish a link of causality between these pathologies and the living environment of the populations, the pilot project of management of these pathologies by the eco-health approach was introduced in 2013 in a precarious district of the municipality of Yopougon, in Abidjan. The main risk factors identified in the advent of the malaria are the non-existence of trash can (OR=2.5; IC 95% = 1.04-6). As for the diarrhea, it is the cohabitation with puddles (OR=0.22; IC95 % = 0.10-0.48). For somewhere else, the advent of the acute respiratory infections (ARI) seems associated with the purification in a general way. Indeed, the factors which seem to risks for ARI are among others, the non-existence of trash cans in the households (OR=2.68; IC 95% = 1.43-5.01), the non-existence of latrine in the households (OR=2.57; IC 95% = 1.19-5.55). These results allowed, through an interdisciplinary and participative process including communities and other stakeholders, implementation of actions of strengthening of capacities of the populations of the district Doukouré to face these various pathologies.
