Download the Learning Brief at: http://www.malariaconsortium.org/resources/publications/846/ Malaria Consortium has been implementing an integrated community case management (iCCM) programme for the diagnosis and treatment of malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea in children 6-59 months in South Sudan since 2010. A nutrition component was integrated into this programme in 2011 in recognition of the inextricable link between health and nutrition. This learning brief describes the model Malaria Consortium is currently implementing to deliver community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) using the iCCM structures in Aweil Centre county in Aweil state and Aweil West county in Lol state. The learning from the evaluation of this model serves as the basis for recommendations for future programming, in an effort to improve and sustain the delivery of CMAM in Aweil and Lol states.

Building capacity for universal coverage: malaria control in Nigeria
Support to the Nigeria Malaria Programme – is a £50 million five-year UK aid funded programme that works with the government and people of Nigeria to strengthen the national effort to control malaria. The programme began in April 2008, and runs to March 2013. This learning paper describes, in detail, the programmes approach to malaria control and explores the reasons for the programmes success from the perspective of health workers trained by the programme, community members and others.
It’s all in the detail developing effective health-related job aids
Malaria Consortium has extensive experience developing job aids for community health workers and health facility workers in several countries. They have identified six key criteria for effective job aids based on this experience: 1) communicate complex information simply, 2) ensure accurate and up-to-date content aligned with health policies, 3) provide clear decision pathways, 4) describe tasks aligned with training and practice, 5) use appropriate language, illustrations and symbols, and 6) produce durable, cost-effective materials. The response provides examples from Mozambique, Uganda and other countries of applying these lessons to design simplified job aids that health workers can easily understand and use to improve performance.

In South Sudan, ICCM – or integrated community case management – is carried out by trained community volunteers called community drug distributors (CDDs) or community based distributors. These operate like community based (volunteer) health workers in other parts of Africa but are known differently as, in South Sudan, a community health worker operates within the Ministry of Health (MoH) structure, receiving around nine months training to provide health services at the PHCC / PHCU levels. This paper shows how best practices for delivering training of Community Drug Distributors (CDDs) in the implementation of integrated community case management (ICCM), that have been shown to be successful in some countries and contexts, needed to be adapted to fit a more complex environment in South Sudan.

Integrating mRDTs into the health system in Uganda: preparing health workers ...
In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) changed its guidelines to state that all suspected malaria cases should be tested for the presence of malaria parasites by microscopy or malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) prior to treatment. A number of countries have now adopted these guidelines and begun to integrate mRDTs into routine service delivery.
With funding from Comic Relief, Malaria Consortium supported the first sustained, district-wide introduction of mRDTs to health facilities in Uganda, starting in December 2010. A number of health workers from public lower-level health facilities have been trained under this programme. A national-level consultative process was also undertaken to revise the national training curriculum for use in country-wide scale-up.
This learning paper presents the lessons drawn from this experience. It discusses the critical training requirements of health workers and what needs to be addressed. The paper also reviews approaches for the successful integration of mRDTs into health service delivery and how best to support health workers adapt to changes in policy.

The document summarizes Malaria Consortium's experience developing a long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) retail market in Nigeria. It discusses Malaria Consortium's original strategy to support the commercial sector through price support, which faced challenges around documentation. A market analysis identified key challenges as LLINs being a slow-moving product and competition from leaked or subsidized nets. Malaria Consortium's revised strategy uses a "total market approach" and "Making Markets Work for the Poor" principles to facilitate arrangements improving market access to LLINs.
Harmonisation of malaria control in nigeria
Since 2008, the Malaria Consortium programme, Support to the Nigeria Malaria Programme (SuNMaP), has been working in Nigeria to strengthen the national effort to control malaria. Among the programme’s activities is the harmonisation of malaria control – which means working with supporting partners locally, nationally and internationally, for the common purpose to reduce the burden of malaria in Nigeria. The paper describes some of SuNMaP’s successes in rolling out harmonisation – such as leading a unified approach to the rollout of a nationwide LLIN campaign rollout, and developing standardised modules for the training of health workers in service delivery and programme management.
Positive deviance: an asset-based approach to improve malaria outcomes
The positive deviance project in Cambodia used an asset-based approach to improve malaria outcomes. It identified "positive deviant" individuals within communities in Cambodia who successfully prevented malaria despite limited resources. The project had two phases: 1) A one-week process to identify positive deviant behaviors and individuals through community dialogues. 2) A six-month implementation phase where positive deviant role models shared their behaviors with community members through meetings and other interactive activities. The project aimed to determine if promoting existing successful behaviors within communities could change malaria-related social norms and behaviors.

Demand creation is the strategic combination of advocacy, communication and mobilisation approaches that seek to achieve increased community awareness of, and demand for, effective malaria prevention and treatment services.
Malaria Consortium's Support to National Malaria Programme (SuNMaP) demand creation strategy for prevention currently focuses on promoting the correct use of long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and the use of intermittent preventive therapy (IPT) in pregnant women. For malaria treatment, demand creation focuses on promoting improved testing, prompt and proper use of artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) treatment for individual cases of malaria, and effective home management of fever, together with referrals of severe cases to a higher-level health facility.
This learning paper discusses SuNMap's experiences of planning and implementing demand creation in Nigeria, including SuNMaP's development of a comprehensive malaria communications plan. It presents what worked well and the challenges that remain to scale up demand creation activities and to consolidate the work already done.

Malaria Consortium at 10: moving towards elimination
Malaria Consortium was founded in 2003 by a small team of people with a vision - to build the capacity of malaria-endemic countries worldwide to deal with a common and treatable disease that was devastating the lives of poor and vulnerable communities.
This presentation celebrating Malaria Consortium at 10 reflects on Malaria Consortium’s engagement with work to eliminate malaria - particularly in Asia. This has been driven by the push for Plasmodium falciparum elimination as quickly as possible in areas of artemisinin resistance; establishing much better surveillance systems and capacity to provide the detailed timely information needed for elimination; and advocating for continued high quality, highly intense efforts against malaria even when the burden declines.

Community dialogues for healthy children: encouraging communities to talk
Integrated community case management (ICCM) – an approach where community-based health workers are trained to identify, treat and refer children under-five with pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria – is increasingly being used across sub-Saharan Africa to supplement the gaps in basic healthcare provision. ICCM programmes have been endorsed by major international organisations and donors, and many African Ministries of Health as a key strategy for reducing child mortality. This learning paper describes Malaria Consortium’s approach to and experience of engaging local communities in integrated community case management (ICCM) in three African countries.

During the last decade child mortality has reduced significantly in a number of African countries, largely due to the scale up of appropriate management of diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria, three leading causes of death among young children. As a way of increasing access to treatment for sick children, several African countries are investing in community health workers (CHWs) to deliver integrated community case management (ICCM). This paper summarises the process adopted by one Malaria Consortium project, inSCALE, for identifying the barriers to CHW motivation and performance in Uganda and Mozambique. It documents innovative solutions to these challenges that are potentially acceptable and feasible, including the rationale for the design of the two interventions developed.

In collaboration with the national malaria control programme in Cambodia (CNM), Malaria Consortium developed a diverse set of tools to improve malaria surveillance and to provide the information needed by national and district staff to manage the national malaria programme, respond to malaria outbreaks and individual cases and monitor in real-time the levels of critical malaria supplies at health facilities.
The surveillance tools developed were a mix of routine reporting systems using eHealth and mobile phone-based (mHealth) solutions that would enable resource constrained environments to provide real-time data for immediate action. This learning paper documents the lessons learned in developing an appropriate tool and the specific considerations in the implementation of mHealth solutions.
