Shinda (Defeat) Malaria Project

Objectives

Shinda Malaria works with the Government of Tanzania (GOT) to reduce malaria burden and move towards the long-term goal of malaria elimination―while achieving USAID’s strategy to support institutional growth and capacity development for local institutions. The project will address the urgent healthcare needs of malaria at-risk populations, especially vulnerable pregnant women and children under five, and support Tanzania partners to grow and execute malaria programs sustainably and successfully.

The general objective of the assistance is improving the health status of the Tanzanian people, with five specific objectives:
1.    Improving case management and malaria in pregnancy (MIP) services.
2.    Improving the ability of individuals to practice positive healthy behaviors.  
3.    Enhancing enabling environment.
4.    Improving drug efficacy monitoring.
5.    Evaluating malaria programs and/or conducting operations research.
