These weaknesses reveal the need to reimagine systemic approaches to community engagement, relationship development and trust building in health. The World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for the Western Pacific led a multi-country Community Engagement Research Initiative to fill critical research gaps and accelerate action in mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable populations.
This report offers an evaluation of evaluative action-based research carried out by four country research teams in Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Malaysia.

Côte d’Ivoire has recorded 87,966 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 87,129 recovered and 833 deaths and 25,263,932 doses administered, and 59% vaccination target coverage (as of 02/09/23, MSHPCMU). Eligible for the vaccine since the start of vaccination in Côte d’Ivoire, 9% of carriers of chronic pathologies have received at least one dose and 5% have been completely vaccinated (Point of 09/02/23, MSHPCMU). The Breakthrough ACTION project through USAID funding, supports the government of Côte d’Ivoire through social and behavior change (SBC) interventions, including research and monitoring to inform COVID-19 vaccination activities. Breakthrough ACTION collected qualitative data across three sites (Abidjan – Bouaké – San Pedro) to assess perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine. This analysis focuses on the perceptions of COVID-19 among people living with a comorbidity (diabetes, hypertension, obesity, HIV, etc.).
