Malaria Consortium is supporting Uganda’s National Malaria Control Division (NMCD) to implement a pilot project assessing the feasibility, acceptability and impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) – the first time this intervention has been used in this geography. The project is being implemented in two districts in Karamoja, a region in the north east of Uganda that has experienced the highest malaria prevalence in the country for over a decade.
