Dans le cadre du programme de recherche « Strengthening Evidence for Programming on Unintended Pregnancy (STEP UP) », le Population Council a élaboré un Rapport du Profil Pays pour comprendre les grossesses non désirées au Sénégal. Ils ont mené une revue de la littérature, analysé des données d'enquêtes disponibles, et a mené des entretiens pour discuter plus en détail de certains aspects avec quelques parties prenantes clés. Le Profil Pays a été discuté lors d'un atelier de deux jours à Dakar regroupant les principaux acteurs du gouvernement aux niveaux central et régional, des organisations non-gouvernementales, et des acteurs de la société civile. Le rapport est composé en six chapitres, résumés dans ce fichier. --- As part of the Strengthening Evidence for Programming on Unintended Pregnancy (STEP UP) research program, the Population Council has developed a Country Profile Report to understand unwanted pregnancies in Senegal.

Un profil pays a été préparé pour le Sénégal pour compiler et synthétiser les informations disponibles sur la santé de la reproduction, en particulier les grossesses non désirées et par conséquent les besoins non satisfaits en matière de planification familiale. D'importants efforts ont été consentis par l'Etat sénégalais, mais de nombreux obstacles continuent de freiner les progrès réalisés. Un programme national plus cohérent et ciblé est donc nécessaire pour réduire ces obstacles. Dans le même temps, les acteurs non-gouvernementaux devraient poursuivre leurs efforts pour renforcer leur programmation pour produire des effets plus immédiats, tout en assurant une meilleure coordination entre eux. Le profil pays constitue un document de référence pour tout chercheur, praticien, et acteur intéressé par la planification familiale en général et par les besoins non satisfaits en particulier. --- A country profile was prepared for Senegal to compile and synthesis available information on reproductive health especially unintended pregnancies and therefore, unmet need in family planning. Significant initiatives have been made by the Senegalese government, however many obstacles continue to hinder progress in reducing unintended pregnancies in the country. A more coherent and focused national program is needed to reduce these barriers. At the same time, nongovernmental actors should continue their efforts to strengthen their programming to produce more immediate effects, while ensuring better coordination between them. The country profile is a reference document for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders interested in family planning in general and in unmet need in particular.

Background Like any other health worker, community health workers (CHWs) need to be supported to ensure that they are able to contribute effectively to health programmes. Management challenges, similar to those of managing any other health worker, relate to improving attraction, retention and performance. Methods Exploratory case studies of CHW programmes in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Senegal, Uganda and Zimbabwe were conducted to provide an understanding of the practices for supporting and managing CHWs from a multi-actor perspective. Document reviews (n = 43), in-depth interviews with programme managers, supervisors and community members involved in managing CHWs (n = 31) and focus group discussions with CHWs (n = 13) were conducted across the five countries. Data were transcribed, translated and analysed using the framework approach. Results CHWs had many expectations of their role in healthcare, including serving the community, enhancing skills, receiving financial benefits and their role as a CHW fitting in with their other responsibilities. Many human resource management (HRM) practices are employed, but how well they are implemented, the degree to which they meet the expectations of the CHWs and their effects on human resource (HR) outcomes vary across contexts. Front-line supervisors, such as health centre nurses and senior CHWs, play a major role in the management of CHWs and are central to the implementation of HRM practices. On the other hand, community members and programme managers have little involvement with managing the CHWs. Conclusions This study highlighted that CHW expectations are not always met through HRM practices. This paper calls for a coordinated HRM approach to support CHWs, whereby HRM practices are designed to not only address expectations but also ensure that the CHW programme meets its goals. There is a need to work with all three groups of management actors (front-line supervisors, programme managers and community members) to ensure the use of an effective HRM approach. A larger multi-country study is needed to test an HRM approach that integrates context-appropriate strategies and coordinates relevant management actors. Ensuring that CHWs are adequately supported is vital if CHWs are to fulfil the critical role that they can play in improving the health of their communities.

Die Länder Westafrikas sind von der wirtschaftlichen Krise schwer erfasst, Arbeitslosigkeit und Armut ist weit verbreitet. Die Glaubwürdigkeit der staatlichen Institutionen, die Lebensbedingungen sozial und human zu gestalten, hat schwer gelitten. Wie sich angesichts dieser Situation die privaten Haushalte verhalten, ist das Thema der fünf in dem Sammelband vereinigten Fallstudien. Es zeigt sich, dass eine Vielzahl privater Anpassungsstrategien auf dem Vormarsch sind: Emigration, Diversifizierung der wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten, Ausbau der informellen Beziehungen im Bereich von Wohnung, Bildung und Kauf von Gütern.
