Evaluability of the Social Mobilization Project for Prevention and Control of the Dengue in Bahia

ABSTRACT An evaluability study of the Project Social Mobilization for Dengue Prevention and Control in the State of Bahia was performed, and the practical intervention model was described. Data collection involved interviews with key informants, documentary analysis and participant observation. The results indicate that the Project can be considered implemented, and its main results are related to the change of focus on dengue in the media's agenda, as well as a greater integration of federal entities, and between the Community Health Workers and the Endemic Agents. Aspects related to the municipal context were seen as obstacles to the achievement of the expected results.
