No. | Name | Description | Assumptions |
---|---|---|---|
1. | Baseline |
Existing set of malaria control activities in 2018 Passive testing and treating of positive malaria cases (community and facility-based) Distribution of LLINs with coveragea and usage levels maintained at 2018 levels IRS coverage continued at 2018 levels (6%) Seasonal malaria chemoprophylaxis continued at 2018 levels IPTp continued at 2018 levels (~ 47%) Maintain proportions of participants who receive 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 doses Distribute routine LLINs to participants of IPTp |
No cost and service difference between community and facility-based treatment avenues Mass distribution of LLINs every 3 years, in line with data (Coverage 2016-2018: 32%, 9%, 100%) Proportion of participants who take 1,2,3, 4, 5 doses of IPTp remains constant |
2. | Fully-funded response (FFR) |
Baseline + Test 100% of all suspected cases and treat 100% of positive cases IRS coverage > 80% (to cover Upper East, Upper West, Northern and Brong Ahafo Region (78% of population of the Savanna zone)) Increase IPTp3 to 80% SMC extended to Northern in 2019 |
Supportive supervision and training to enable better testing and treating (applied annually per PAR) IRS is an annual cost IPTp costs for dosage only (through existing ANC) |
3. | Better use of nets |
Fully-funded response + SBC (social and behavioural change) to increase the usage of LLINs |
Distribution of LLINs every 3 years, en masse SBC costs applied to cover 1/3 of the country per year, allowing for full coverage with every mass distribution Costs applied annually at 1/3 coverage per par Impact of SBC: Increase in net use by 50% |
4. | Health System Acceleration |
Better use of nets + Increase treatment-seeking from 73% to 90% (through increasing SBC) |
Increased SBC costs to increase treatment-seeking Costs applied annually per par |
5. | Reverse |
