Increasing Advocacy Around Malaria
- Summary
-
CCP’s Global Program on Malaria has launched the VOICES for a Malaria-Free Future project to highlight successful anti-malaria efforts and evidence-based results. VOICES is designed to educate policymakers about effective programs and strategies for malaria control. VOICES includes advocacy projects in four developing countries — Ghana, Kenya, Mali, and Mozambique — that will promote progress made against malaria while also breaking down policy barriers that hamper effective prevention and control.
At the global level, VOICES will work with donor country leaders, policymakers, opinion leaders, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), multilateral funding agencies, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership (RBM), global health advocates, existing malaria stakeholders, the private sector, the faith-based community, the research and development community, and the media. VOICES will also closely track global funding trends from a variety of sources, such as the World Bank, GFATM, governments, and other donors.
CCP will work with local community-based organizations to implement projects in both Ghana and Mali. The CORE Group, a membership association of international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), will work with CCP in Mali through Groupe Pivot, a well-established national NGO umbrella group. In Kenya, CORE Group will provide support to the Kenya NGO Alliance Against...

Mozambique: Improving Health Care Service Delivery
- Summary
-
Jhpiego, in partnership with Chemonics International, is working in Mozambique to streamline the health care system and improve service delivery. This five-year program, called FORTE Saúde (Fostering Optimization of Resources and Technical Excellence for National Health), began in December 2005, and is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development. Jhpiego’s role in this program is to provide technical assistance to Mozambique’s central Ministry of Health (MOH) to improve policies, strategies, guidelines and protocols on maternal and child health, reproductive health, malaria in pregnancy, nutrition and emergency preparedness. Jhpiego’s aim is to strengthen the capacities of the MOH and private voluntary organizations/nongovernmental organizations to increase utilization of, access to, demand for and management of maternal and child health and reproductive health services at the provincial, district and community levels.
As part of FORTE Saúde, Jhpiego is working to build the country’s capacity to educate, train and support health care personnel. The goal of the program is to increase the use of child survival and reproductive health services in target areas, with an immediate result of increased accountability in policy and management.
Because Mozambique is especially vulnerable to epidemics such as cholera and meningitis, another focus of this program is emergency preparedness. Activities...

Mozambique: Improving the Quality of Care and Services across the Health Sector (through MCHIP)
- Summary
-
Improving the quality of care and services across the health sector in Mozambique is one of the top priorities of both the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the United States Government (USG). To support these efforts, the Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP) is implementing an integrated maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) program and a condom social marketing (CSM) program with three primary objectives:
• Strengthen essential maternal and newborn care (EMNC)—including the prevention and control of malaria in pregnancy (MIP) as an integrated component of antenatal care—and strengthen basic emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) services, as well as key preventive family planning/reproductive health services including postpartum family planning (PPFP) and cervical cancer prevention;
• Strengthen the EMNC and EmONC curriculum in an integrated manner in all MOH training institutions for maternal and child health mid-level nurses; and
• Provide technical assistance to the MOH to develop an integrated training package for reproductive and maternal/child health.
MCHIP supports the central level of the MOH in the development and dissemination of MNCH norms, guidelines, standards and training materials. At the health facility level, MCHIP supports the implementation of the “model maternity initiative,” which focuses on the following platform of integrated care:
• Strengthening antenatal...
