The Program for the Advancement of Malaria Outcomes (PAMO) is a flagship malaria program for the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), a US government initiative, in Zambia. PAMO helps the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) accelerate progress toward eliminating local malaria infection and disease. Implemented by PATH in partnership with Jhpiego and the Broadreach Institute for Training and Education (widely known as BRITE), PAMO supports the GRZ at the national level through the National Malaria Elimination Programme and in four high burden provinces: Luapula, Muchinga, Eastern, and Northern.Using the national harmonized malaria workplan, coordination meetings, and the malaria scorecard, PAMO supported partner coordination, program management, and resource mobilization efforts.

PATH is pursuing an ambitious goal on a global scale: by 2030, we aim to improve health outcomes for more than a billion people.Achieving this goal will mean tackling some of the world’s worst health disparities. It’s challenging work, but your support can help make it possible. With the help of donors like you, PATH has already improved public health at an unprecedented scale.

Preventing vaccine freezing is one of the biggest barriers in vaccine management. Toward addressing this challenge, B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Dharan, Nepal, in collaboration with PATH, conducted a field evaluation of freeze-preventive vaccine carriers (FPVCs) in 24 health facilities located across one hilly district and one plains district of eastern Nepal. The primary study objectives were to evaluate the performance, acceptability, and fit of the FPVCs within the existing immunization system.

Fortifying staple foods with micronutrients is one of the most cost-effective, scalable, and evidence-based interventions to help combat widespread micronutrient deficiencies. As Myanmar’s staple food is rice, which lacks many necessary vitamins and minerals found in a balanced diet, rice fortification is a culturally appropriate solution and an effective way to improve nutrition in the country. This FAQ document provides answers to the most common questions about fortified rice in Myanmar in order to combat malnutrition in the country.

Robust policy is critical to achieving improved health outcomes—but far too often action stops once a policy is developed and adopted. Policies are only as effective as the extent to which they are implemented, and poor policy implementation holds back efforts to expand equitable access to health services.Advocates play a key role in driving policy implementation and holding decision-makers accountable. A number of existing frameworks and tools serve to inform their strategies and approaches; PATH's Capital to Clinic initiative aims to establish a tool and methodology—building upon defined strategic frameworks—for advocates to move the policy process forward toward implementation and evaluation.This brief provides an overview of existing frameworks for pursuing policy implementation.
