MACEPA Learning Community

MACEPA is demonstrating that scaling up malaria prevention and control saves lives, reduces illness, and decreases the economic burden malaria exerts on affected communities. National ownership and strengthened planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation are central to this effort.

Learning Community holds M&E workshop in Malawi
In October, the MACEPA Learning Community hosted a forum on the monitoring and evaluation of malaria at the community level. The forum, held in Malawi, brought together M&E specialists and malaria control program managers to share lessons learned and benchmark performance in establishing community-based M&E systems that are linked to national M&E efforts. Participants addressed incentives and roles of some specific tools such as health registers available at the community level, the diversity of personnel structures, and performance-based approaches that can motivate communities to take responsibility for malaria control.
