In a world with dynamic population movements, outbreaks with cross-border implications, and increasingly politicized health issues, linear and inflexible approaches to global health programs are ineffective. Adaptive management has emerged as one possible approach that embodies iteration and adaptability in program design and implementation to help with navigating complex and dynamic environments. It entails iterative program timelines, funding mechanisms, monitoring and evaluation plans, and implementation strategies that allow for a process of continuous “learning by doing.” It builds in explicit processes of testing, learning, and iteration throughout the project lifecycle and calls for an organizational culture that embraces flexibility and learns from its failures. Real-time data systems can strengthen adaptive management by generating data that can more rapidly inform tactical adaptations, changes, and future planning. This white paper challenges traditional project management in the global development sector. It encourages donors, policymakers, implementers, and ministries of health to set a new precedent of adaptive programming.

The Program for the Advancement of Malaria Outcomes (PAMO) is a flagship malaria program for the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), a US government initiative, in Zambia. PAMO helps the GRZ accelerate progress toward eliminating local malaria infection and disease. Implemented by PATH in partnership with Jhpiego and the Broadreach Institute for Training and Education (widely known as BRITE), PAMO supports the GRZ at the national level through the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP) and in four high burden provinces: Luapula, Muchinga, Eastern, and Northern.Integrated community case management (iCCM) is a key mechanism for expanding access to quality malaria care at the community level.

This poster uses results from the Zambia National Malaria Indicator Survey 2018 to describe both the coverage and usage of insecticide-treated bednets after a mass distribution campaign.

This poster summarizes key findings from the Zambia National Malaria Indicator Survey 2018.

This poster describes the results of applying a package of malaria interventions (the use of proven vector control tools, expanding access to malaria treatment through case management, clearing parasites through selective use of mass drug administration, and improved surveillance including at both facility and community levels) to Mulobezi District in Western Province, Zambia.
