ADVANCING EQUITY
In Mozambique, the Chemonics-led USAID Integrated Malaria Program (IMaP) supports community malaria mobilizers who promote simple and effective malaria prevention steps to ensure communities are at the core of the malaria response. One of these mobilizers is Calton Abudo Muagito, who works in Memba, a coastal community in Nampula province. Learn more about the positive impact that IMaP has thanks to Calton and other community health volunteers like him.

There was a really great global partnership that arose under the auspices of [the] WHO, PMI, and the Global Fund. We were able to convene as key global partners and have these coordination discussions where we were able to prioritize deliveries to countries that had the biggest needs—the countries with the most risk of stockout. So, we used the limited available production, limited available malaria commodities, and prioritized getting them to those particular countries."

Madame Koulou Guilavolgui is a pharmacy dispensing agent at the Boffa District Hospital in Guinea. She is responsible for ensuring quality and inventory of malaria medicines. To ensure she could efficiently track stock and supply orders, she was trained by the USAID Global Health Supply Chain Program-Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project, which aims to enhance Guinea’s health supply chain. Now, her new expertise has led to a considerable reduction of stockouts.

Building Resilience Across Global Health Supply Chains
In Cambodia, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environment partnered to ensure that remote communities in 20 priority provinces have access to malaria prevention and treatment. By expanding the role of forest rangers, the government of Cambodia aims to expand and ensure access to life-saving insecticide-treated nets to the unreached people living in the country’s forests.

Last year, we were elated when the World Health Organization (WHO) approved the first-ever malaria vaccine, generating new hope in improving our ability to reduce and eventually eliminate the disease. However, there are still critical factors that need to be considered to ensure the malaria vaccine is successful in reducing malaria mortality among children, according to two of our malaria experts. Read their recommendations in this Chemonics blog.

GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP
Now is the time to advance innovation for new and existing malaria tools and strategies, leveraging data to stay ahead of the disease, while equitably deploying prevention and control resources. With growing global health and security threats, financial support to manage malaria is unlikely to increase, but there are great opportunities for us to be “smart” with available approaches to ensure the most efficient use of our resources."
