Published:
Resources: Project brief
By using the seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) platform to distribute diarrhoea treatments to families in remote rural communities, Malaria Consortium and project partner Clear Solutions hope to address the high under-five mortality rate from this treatable condition.
Malaria Consortium and Clear Solutions will test a community-based model for delivering co-packaged oral rehydration solution and zinc alongside routine SMC delivery, targeting 13,000 children aged 0–59 months across all nine health facility catchment areas in Moulkou health district. The project aims to assess both feasibility and impact of the integrated model.
