Malaria Action Program for Districts

Despite significant progress over the last decade, malaria remains persistently high in most areas of Uganda. The country still has one of the highest malaria burdens in Africa.

USAID’s Malaria Action Program for Districts, made possible by support from the American and British people, worked to help control this disease. The programme was implemented by Malaria Consortium in partnership with Jhpiego, Banyan Global, Communication for Development Foundation Uganda (CDFU), Deloitte Uganda and Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI).

We provided technical direction and oversight of the programme, programmatic and representation leadership, as well as coordination of the partners. Project partners brought critical technical expertise and implementation experience in the Ugandan context in the areas of capacity building and malaria in pregnancy (Jhpiego), gender inclusion (Banyan), diagnostics (IDI), communications (CDFU), and grants management (Deloitte).
