Conducting rapid assessments to build the evidence base for seasonal malaria chemoprevention in new geographies
Published:
Resources: Project brief
We are carrying out rapid assessments in up to five countries across East and southern Africa where SMC has not previously been delivered at scale.
We believe that delivering seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) safely, effectively and sustainably in East and southern Africa requires a locally adapted approach, potentially different from the one used for scale-up in the Sahel. Our research methods will be uniquely tailored to the local context for each rapid assessment location, while considering the availability of reliable data. In each intervention area, we will carry out one cycle of SMC, distributing SPAQ to children under five during the high transmission season.
