children, the study demonstrated the usefulness of COMBI strategy for increasing awareness about malaria, developing a positive perception towards malaria prevention and, increasing the utilisation of LLINs [147].

#### *3.3.2 Approaches to social participation and eco-health*

Community motivation to participate in entomological projects is an important premise. A qualitative approach was used to survey the factors motivating members of the local community to assist in the implementation of Target Malaria's entomological research activities in Bana, Western Burkina Faso. The results showed a degree of consistency around five categories of motivation: (a) enhance domestic protection from mosquitoes and malaria, (b) contribute to a future world free of the disease, (c) acquire knowledge and skills, (d) earn financial compensation, and (e) gain social prestige for the village [148]. A cluster-randomised controlled trial conducted in Malawi combined the interventions to the current national malaria control strategies of Malawi with community-based larval source management and structural house improvements for 2 years in rural, southern Malawi and demonstrated to reduce malaria transmission below the level reached by current interventions alone [149].

In a recent study, community participation is key to the success of IVM implementation at the local level. The project promoted the adoption and sustainability of IVM and scale-up of IVM-related activities as well as increased community participation and partnership in malaria control through outreach, capacity-building, and collaboration with other stakeholders in the area. Thus, it is that between 2016 and 2018 the project was able to reach 25,322 people in the community advocacy and social mobilisation initiatives [150].

The community-based interventions and research to action based on an ecosystem framework (eco-health) provided information in an integrative way characterising annual dynamics among indigenous communities. The research was conducted with the Bari of Karikachaboquira and the Wayúu of Marbacella and El Horno in Colombia, using qualitative and participatory methods, including seasonal graphics, semi-structured interviews, geo-referencing routes, and participatory observation, an eco-health calendar was obtained for each community, linking the socioecological dynamics to specific diseases, especially malaria. The eco-health calendar allows the integration of eco-bio-social factors in a layout that breaks conceptual and cultural barriers [151].
