Le Burkina Faso fait face à une épidémie de poliomyélite qui sévit depuis 2019. En réponse à cette épidémie, le pays a développé un plan de riposte basé sur trois axes principaux : 1) l'organisation de campagnes de vaccination de riposte dans les districts épidémiques ; 2) le renforcement de la vaccination de routine et de la communication sur la poliomyélite ; et 3) le renforcement de la surveillance des paralysies flasques aiguës. En 2022, le pays a obtenu des partenaires de l’initiative mondiale d’éradication de la poliomyélite (IMEP) un financement pour organiser une campagne de qualité en deux tours et pour renforcer les activités de surveillance et de PEV de routine. Le premier tour s’est déroulé en novembre 2022 et le Burkina Faso se prépare à organiser le second tour de la campagne prévue pour le premier trimestre 2023.

Les campagnes se tiennent dans un contexte particulier marqué par des défis majeurs notamment la situation d'insécurité qui freinent les activités, la recrudescence des refus de vaccination et des multiples rumeurs contre les vaccins, surtout en lien avec la vaccination contre la COVID-19. Au regard des défis liés à l’engagement communautaire et au changement social et comportemental en faveur de la vaccination, l’UNICEF a obtenu de l’IMEP un financement pour le recrutement d’un consultant international pour appuyer la coordination des activités d’engagement communautaire et changement social et comportemental
