2016 Cameroon Onchocerciasis Survey, focus group discussion Supervision and support from the health facility workers did not appear to be a strong motivating
factor. In fact, a number of CDDs expressed concern over a lack of support they received
in handling potential adverse events and they often had to spend their own money to care for the patient with complications. The only positive incentive mentioned by CDDs was training. However, attending training
often resulted in financial losses for CDDs, which also discouraged them from work.
The findings suggest that
poor CDD motivation and mistrust between the community and the CDDs can be related to
both a poor quality campaign and poor drug compliance.
Some CDDs felt that their work was not appreciated by the community, many experienced problems ranging from the community apathy and mistrust around CDDs’ motivations to negative reactions and insults in response to adverse side effects.
