Malaria Control and Elimination Partnership in Africa (MACEPA)

Related program: Malaria

Since 2005, MACEPA has been working with national programs to plan, implement, and evaluate a tailored package of interventions to reduce the burden of malaria and accelerate elimination efforts across a variety of transmission settings.

Project at a glance

Project duration: 2005-2027

Project funder: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

MACEPA is active in the following countries: Central African Republic (CAR), The Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, The Gambia, Senegal, and Zambia. Previously, MACEPA was also active in Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique.

Project approach
Our approach to drive innovation and impact occurs across four areas:
Governance and Management

We enable national malaria programs design, implement, monitor, and sustain impactful malaria control and elimination strategies.

Surveillance and Data Products

We work to ensure high-quality, actionable data products are available through functional surveillance systems and increased data use.

Data, Analytics, and Modelling

We partner with national malaria programs to establish locally contextualized plans and strategies using data, analytics, and modeling approaches to maximize the impact of limited resources, reduce burden, and drive toward elimination.

Optimized Interventions

We work to improve access to effective diagnosis and treatment in hard-to-reach populations through optimally scaled community case management.
