Capacity development interventions supported Ugandan health workers to improve their management of malaria, even during upsurges.
The USAID MAPD program supports malaria control in nine districts in south-central Uganda. Interventions include, among others, mentorship for and quarterly performance reviews of healthcare workers’ malaria case management. To examine their impact, this study compared trends in health workers’ practices in program and non-program areas.
