  2. Why is it important? • Community continue to play a significant role in achieving effective intervention coverage • Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) • Classification, treatment and referral of the main causes of U5 mortality in the community. (pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria and severe acute malnutrition • Distribution of vector control intervention through community structures

  3. Why are the challenges • None existence of sustainable community health structures /systems (with adequate community participation) • Commodity supply • Supervision • Training • M&E and surveillance

  4. Information systems • Systems to ensure an enabling environment and advocacy • Advocacy communication and social mobilization • Building community linkages, collaboration and coordination. Linking these to the formal health system • None existence of sustainable community health structures /systems (with adequate community participation) • Building capacity • Monitoring and evaluation and planning

  5. iCCM malaria example • Community system depends and rely on the lowest level of the formal health system (Primary health care level /dispensary in the catchment area) • Supplies • Supervision • Referral • Surveillance • Should be linked to the primary health facility • Linked to replenishment of supplies – accounting for stocks before replenishment • Simple registers that allow for collection of the necessary patient information. • HMIS • Feed back to the community on usefulness of the surveillance and M&E information,

  6. What is in the Package for CMM malaria?... • Trained community providers (CHWs, Medicine Sellers or Retailers) should be provided with: • ACTs for treatment of uncomplicated malaria. • Rectal artemisinin suppositories for pre-referral treatment of severe malaria. • Rapid diagnostic tests • Information, Education and Communication materials. • simple patient registers and reporting forms.

  7. Malaria surveillance Surveillance data should be principal source of information in endemic countries at all levels to: monitor burden and trends of malaria evaluate impact of intervention respond to increases in transmission Control and ultimately elimination of malaria requires timely and complete malaria surveillance at all levels of the health care system It is essential that this information is also collected at the community level

  8. Thank you Keep our eye on the prize: a world free of malaria
