| Shrnutí: | In Senegal, malaria control policies have known tremendous change. Both introductions of Rapid Test and Artemisinin combinated Therapy have transformed the way programs have been thought and implemented. More and more, these programs refer to Evidence Based Medicine to justify their modification.In this context, this paper highlights the blind spots of malaria control policies in Casamance. Building on the history of Malaria control policies in Senegal and on fieldwork carried out in Casamance, it aims to show the little visibility of policy paradigm evolution on the ground and to analyse the assemblage of knowledge and practices referring to different set of policies. Evidence based policies appear blind to the historical and political contexts. Population’s idiosyncrasies and practices, health professional’s experiences and political dimensions of malaria control practices call for a better recognition of the historical and political dimension of health policies. |
