To assess whether seasonal malaria chemoprevention can be an effective malaria prevention strategy in Mozambique, Malaria Consortium initiated a two-year hybrid effectiveness implementation study in Nampula province in 2020, in partnership with the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) and the Centro de Investigação em Saúde da Manhiça. The first phase explored the feasibility and acceptability of delivering SMC outside of the Sahel, while the second phase focuses on demonstrating impact.
