Malaria prevention is a public health priority, with approximately 283 million cases and 610,000 deaths in 2024, a large proportion (75%) of which affected children under 5 years of age. Despite the increasing availability of effective interventions, implementation does not guarantee full adherence among target populations. In Cameroon, adherence challenges and implementation constraints may limit their real-world impact. This thesis aims to assess the accessibility and delivery of these interventions among children, identify the factors explaining gaps in coverage and adherence, and determine the extent to which their implementation contributes to reducing malaria morbidity.

Thesis supervised by Pr. Yves Coppieters't Wallant and Pr. Joseph Kamgno
