Resources: Project brief
Malaria Consortium is conducting a demonstration project to assess whether community delivery of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp) can increase uptake of antenatal care and improve community awareness.
By tailoring WHO guidance to the local context, the project aims to improve awareness and use of antenatal services in the districts of Anié, Est-Mono and Moyen-Mono. These districts are characterised by high malaria prevalence and low coverage rates for antenatal consultations and IPTp.
