The malaria situation is still worrying in Basse-Kotto following the upsurge in violence by armed groups in the region, forcing the population to move to sites where hygiene conditions leave much to be desired and health institutions are weakened, exposing the population to the risk of malaria infection. Difficult access to healthcare has led to a major malaria pandemic.

COHEB was the implementing partner of the 2018 door-to-door LLIN (Long-Lasting Impregnated Mosquito Nets) distribution campaign in the sub- prefecture of Ippy in partnership with World Vision, financed by the Global Fund. In addition, it has already carried out routine distributions in health facilities and mass distributions to displaced and host populations in its areas of intervention under various projects funded by WHO and UNFPA.

COHEB has been based in the BasseKotto Prefecture since 2009, and to date has been active in the fields of health and nutrition, food security/sustainable solutions, education and protection, giving it a strong presence in the region.
