Abstract

The social and cultural dimensions of health influence the course of disease and condition the success of health interventions. In Africa, previous epidemics such as Ebola have shown the importance of contextualizing health interventions. This literature review contributes to the reflection on the analysis of community-based interventions in the context of the particularities of West Africa in the fight against the pandemic in COVID-19.

Keywords: COVID-19; West-Africa; community-based interventions.
