A newsletter on malaria control

MACEPA News is a periodic update on activities of the Malaria Control and Evaluation Partnership in Africa, which works to rapidly scale up proven malaria control interventions to achieve impact on health and economic indicators. Distributed three times per year, the online newsletter includes updates on emerging malaria control insights, as well as perspectives from Zambia and our regional and global partners. We hope to stimulate discussion and provide a forum for sharing progress and challenges in malaria control today.
