Malaria Control Booster Project

closed

The objectives of the Malaria Control Booster Project are: (a) to ensure that the target population will have improved access to, and utilization of a well-defined set of Malaria Plus Package of interventions (MPP); and (b) to strengthen Nigeria and the States ability to manage and oversee delivery of malaria plus interventions. There are two components of the project. The first component will strengthen the capacity of the Federal Government to provide malaria control leadership and coordination over the medium and long-term by (a) strengthening procurement and logistics of commodities and promoting their use through social marketing for accelerated implementation of the malaria plus interventions; (b) improving monitoring and evaluation for evidence-based management; and (c) coordinating program activities at the national level and across programs. The second component involves strengthening the health system to improve delivery of the Malaria Plus interventions in the target states through (a) increasing access to, and utilization of, preventive measures; (b) expanding access to, and utilization of effective diagnostic and treatment services; (c) strengthening community mobilization and communication for behavior change; (d) strengthening partnerships for resource mobilization and implementation; (e) improving state-specific monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for evidence-based management; and (f) enhancing capacity of the states for oversight and project coordination.
