Impact Santé Afrique (ISA ) coordinates the platform of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for the elimination of malaria (CS4ME).
In December 2022, Impact Santé Afrique (ISA) developed a capacity building guide on community monitoring of key malaria control programs. This is a tool for Civil Society Organizations and other stakeholders working in the fight against malaria and interested in implementing community monitoring. The objective of this guide is to strengthen the capacities of CSOs in community monitoring in order to improve their contribution to the quality monitoring of malaria control interventions in vulnerable communities.
Community monitoring is a mechanism that is constantly evolving in view of the evidence observed in the implementation of this concept. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the most up-to-date information on this mechanism is made available to CSOs and vulnerable communities.
