Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / Community outreach in Paraguay
Spanish term or phrase: rastrillajes
As the context shows, this is the name of one of the divisions of the Department of Social Outreach and Community Participation under Paraguay's malaria program.

For "Mingas," I have found the following:
La "minga", una tradición indígena de trabajo cooperativo y voluntario por el bien común, se prevía como un proceso participativo. I can't see how "rastrillaje" (raking, rubble) relates to the idea at all.

The context:
El Departamento de Movilización Social & Participación Comunitaria, es un departamento creado con el organigrama del 2009, suplantando al exiguo departamento de Educación Comunitaria existente desde la década de los 90, teniendo en cuenta que las soluciones técnicas institucionales solas sin el involucramiento de las propias comunidades teniendo en cuenta que las soluciones técnicas solas no pueden asegurar el control y la prevención eficaz de las enfermedades transmisibles por vectores, enfermedades éstas que impiden el desarrollo nacional e individual, afectando la economía por el gran costo que acarrea todo tratamiento y control. Movilización Social & Participación Comunitaria es un departamento de apoyo técnico, de dependencia directa de la Dirección Técnica del SENEPA, homólogo a los departamentos de: Programas, Entomología, Zonas Operativas Regionales-ZOR, Gestión de Datos Epidemiológicos-GDE.
Consta de tres áreas o secciones: Comunicación Social, Participación Comunitaria y Mingas & **Rastrillajes**.

El rastrillaje consiste en la eliminación de criaderos del mosquito Aedes aegypti casa por casa,

The process:
El plan a ejecutarse contempla tres componentes: primeramente, se realizan visitas casa por casa con el fin de informar y sensibilizar sobre la importancia de eliminar criaderos del vector y de acudir al médico en el caso de presentar síntomas. El segundo componente incluye las tareas de rastrillaje, con la eliminación de los posibles criaderos del mosquito y acercando los recipientes en desuso a un sector donde el camión recolector de basuras tenga alcance. El tercer componente se refiere a la etapa en que los funcionarios de SENEPA ingresarán a los sectores para una fumigación.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Marie, I wish I could give you the points for the door-to-door part, which I'm convinced is correct, but it's not about breeding sites. That's outside the responsibility of this department. It's just about raising awareness. You couldn't have known that because I didn't give you enough information.

  -> Thanks, Bill. That sounds good. There's no tidy word for this so more than one way of saying it.

Field inspection


Explanation:
In Argentina, "rastrillaje" is a thorough police search, raid. According to the RAE it is used also in Bolivia. According to another source, also in Uruguay. I believe this is the meaning here.
To avoid the "policing" connotation, the concept above could be used.
"A field inspector is a person who is hired on a per-project basis to provide an in-person visual inspection of homes, apartment buildings and other commercial real estate."

You could also say "site/home/area inspections".
