STRATEGIC REPORT 5. THE GESCOME DIFFERENCE:
LESSONS LEARNED FROM GESTION COMMUNAUTAIRE DE SANTE ENVIRONNEMENTALE (GESCOME),
THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROJECT CESH BENIN ACTIVITY
The Benin GESCOME approach was an effective instrument for stimulating
community changes in health understanding, and potentially health practices,
as well as building and maintaining physical infrastructure (hardware) for
diarrheal disease prevention in rural towns.
GESCOME showed that with minimum external supervision local communities
could successfully establish and manage effective, decentralized, autonomous
decision-making structures. To attain these results, the communities had to
use and master low-cost, simple technologies that provided a desirable
public service and were financed and sustained by public support.
The objective of this report is to review the experiences of the Benin
GESCOME activity in order to draw broadly applicable lessons learned.
