Insufficient funding is hindering the achievement of malaria elimination targets in Africa, despite the pressing need for increased investment in malaria control. While Western donors attribute their inaction to financial constraints, the global health community has limited knowledge of China’s ex...panding role in malaria prevention. This knowledge gap arises from the fact that China does not consistently report its foreign development assistance activities to established aid transparency initiatives. Our work focuses on identifying Chinese-funded malaria control projects throughout Africa and linking them to official data on malaria prevalence. By doing so, we aim to shed light on China’s contributions to malaria control efforts, analysing their investments and assessing their impact. This would provide valuable insights into the development of effective financing mechanisms for future malaria control in Africa.

Les efforts entrepris dans la lutte contre la tuberculose sont encore loin de résoudre les faibles taux de détection et de guérison enregistrés. La Participation communautaire aux soins de la tuberculose par le programme de l’USAID et celui de PLAN/Sénégal avec le Fonds Mondial, ont permis ...une amélioration des connaissances sur la tuberculose et l’utilisation encore timide des structures de santé comme premier recours.
Toutefois, les conclusions de la dernière revue externe du mois de décembre 2012 mettent en relief un défi communicationnel face aux multiples difficultés qui fragilisent les tentatives déjà entreprises.
Ce plan de communication qui tient compte de plusieurs paramètres, se veut une réponse pour une meilleure adhésion et une appropriation des stratégies du programme par la communauté.
