Abstract
This qualitative exploratory study aims to contribute to the Malian government's public health measures in response to COVID-19. The study aims to understand the challenges and responses to public health measures of IDPs living in Bamako and Ségou, to inform efforts to contextualise and adapt these measures to make them more effective among IDPs. The study will be a pilot for a regional initiative 'COVID Francophone Africa' led by the network Francophone Africa and Fragility. The expected outcomes are improved, evidence-based understanding of the challenges faced by authorities and humanitarian actors in adequately implementing public health measures to inform and adapt in real time the response to COVID-19, and based on this, proposals for appropriate adjustments and best practice guidance.
