  abstract = {{C}ommunity engagement ({CE}) has been increasingly acknowledged as a pivotal element in the efficacy of mass drug administration ({MDA}) programs designed to control and eradicate diseases such as malaria, lymphatic filariasis, and onchocerciasis. {T}he objective of this scoping review was to evaluate the contribution of community engagement ({CE}) to participatory interventions for mass drug administration ({MDA}). {A} systematic search of six databases yielded 32 articles, spanning 24 {MDA} interventions across 20 countries, primarily in low- and middle-income settings. {T}he review indicates that most {CE} initiatives are constrained to passive information dissemination, with a paucity of initiatives that prioritize active community involvement or decision-making. {T}he review identified several key challenges, including a lack of clear definitions for {CE}, inconsistent objectives, and difficulties in evaluating its effectiveness. {D}espite evidence that {CE} can enhance {MDA} coverage and compliance, the lack of standardized frameworks hinders comprehensive evaluation and comparison across studies. {F}urthermore, only a minority of interventions involved communities in the design or evaluation stages of {MDA} programs. {T}he findings emphasize the importance of context-specific approaches, especially in addressing local sociocultural dynamics and including marginalized populations. {F}uture interventions should prioritize sustainable capacity-building and adopt participatory frameworks that promote shared decision-making. {A}ddressing these challenges could enhance the effectiveness of {MDA} campaigns and improve health outcomes in affected communities.},
