Acceptance of the intervention Most of the opinion leaders interviewed maintained that, the project was well introduced into the community. To them the project team has observed the necessary community protocols and allowed

the local people to fully participate in the project activities. For a fifty-one year old female opinion leader at Agortoe: “…unlike other projects which comes from the district without our consent, this one has involved all of us. The necessary protocols and hierarchy of power in the community were observed… as a result, we accepted the Nintedanib solubility dmso project as our own… and see to it that all children between six and sixty months old were part of the project…”. Discussions This study investigated the role of community participation in project acceptance and successful implementation. It also looked at the level of communities’

participation in the IPTc combined with timely home treatment project implemented in the Shime sub-district of the Keta district in Ghana. Findings indicate that almost everybody in the communities contributed towards the success of the intervention. They fully participated in mobilizing and encouraging caregivers to get their children into the study. The clinical and parasitaemia findings from the intervention were reported else where1,6 The success of the ABT-199 cell line project viewed in terms of acceptance and involvements was made possible by the commitment of the people to make it works, and community durbars held to promote active interactions among stakeholders and the communities at

large. The observation of community protocols as well tuclazepam as insulating the project from all political influences made it acceptable to all shades of political groupings in the communities. Several studies see Home-based management of malaria.1,6,8,11,15,18 as a major tool for winning the fight against malaria, especially among the vulnerable groups, but for this to be successful, it would require conscious efforts to integrate community members fully into the design, planning and implementation of this valuable interventions. Preference of CAs to health workers to administer the IPTc may be driven by the fact that they (CAs) were nominated by communities themselves to deliver the interventions and these are people that are trusted by community members and were considered respectful. On the other hand they considered health workers as insensitive, arrogant and disrespectful. Although, some of these accusations of the health workers may be misplaced, it once again called into question the attitude of our health care providers, especially in rural public facilities. However, we must acknowledge that some of this providers work under very trying conditions and are often overwhelmed by their daily workloads.
