About the Project:

The purpose of the PMI Uganda Malaria Reduction Activity (Malaria Reduction Activity) contract is to enhance the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of malaria in Uganda, and contribute to the goals of the Uganda Malaria Reduction and Elimination Strategic Plan 2021-2025 of reducing malaria morbidity by 50 percent and malaria-related mortality by 75 percent by 2025. PMI aims to contribute to these goals by strengthening the capacity of malaria prevention and ownership of health at the community and household levels while maintaining gains made at the health facility level in focus districts. Previous and current malaria programs have strengthened national, district, and health facility level strategy and technical capacities, but have not fully realized community and household prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of malaria.

The USAID Uganda Learning Activity (ULA) conducted the initial baseline assessment for this Activity in 2020. Since then, there have been changes to the malaria landscape in Uganda. Additionally, five indicators were not assessed during the baseline because districts included for implementation were unknown. Due to these factors, ULA will conduct an updated baseline assessment for the Malaria Reduction Activity.
