MIXED PROGRESS ON MALARIA

  • Increase in bednet coverage, but high

sustainability risk

  • Shift in drug availability and concerns

about quality

  • Limited biological confirmation of

diagnostics

BOTTLENECK ASSESSMENT

  • Inadequate quantities, poor

management, allocation and low motivation of health workers

  • Weak data systems
  • Insufficient quantity and poor

quality of drugs and other inputs

  • Low knowledge of norms and

standards for HIV-AIDS and malaria control

  • Low coverage HIV-AIDS services,

uneven coverage of bed nets

  • Tenuous legal and social

environment for HIV-AIDS

  • Low utilization of health services

due to financial, conflict-related and

  • ther barriers
  • Weak community platforms,

insufficient focus on behavior change interventions

  • Fragmentation at operational level
  • Sub-optimal use of available

resources

  • Low financing: 1/10th Sub-Saharan

African average

  • Financing gaps for ARVs , PTCMT and

bed nets

  • High proportion (40%) financed by

households, leading to inequity

HOW TO ACCELERATE CHANGE

  • Extend

harmonized health package to 80% of the country

  • Accelerate

modernization

  • f the health

management information system Harmonization & Coordination

  • Increase

financing for health (domestic and foreign)

  • Support

development of long-term financing strategy Financing

  • Ensure

availability of key inputs

  • Reinforce the

national drug supply system – use it!

  • Bed net

distribution every three years Supply System

  • Community

mobilization strategy in at least 50% of health zones

  • Strengthen

capacity of civil society, youth groups, Parliament and the justice sector for HRs

  • n HIV-AIDS
