Impact Santé Afrique (ISA) coordinates the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) Platform for Malaria Elimination (CS4ME).
In December 2022, Impact Santé Afrique (ISA) developed a capacity-building guide on community led-monitoring (CLM) of key malaria programs.

The aim of this guide is to build the capacity of CSOs in CLM, in order to improve their contribution to quality monitoring of malaria fight interventions in vulnerable communities.
