The goal of this five-year initiative, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, is to improve the health status of the Ugandan population by reducing childhood and maternal morbidity and mortality due to malaria.

To achieve this goal, the program will ensure:

1) implementation of effective malaria prevention programs in support of the National Malaria Control Strategy;

2) implementation of effective malaria diagnosis and treatment activities in support of the strategy; and

3) capacity-building of the National Malaria Control Program, Regional Performance Monitoring Teams and District Health Management Teams to effectively manage and sustain malaria activities.
