The use of formative research to inform the design of a seasonal malaria chemoprevention intervention in northern Nigeria [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2016
Experience of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is growing in the Sahel sub-region of Africa, though there remains insufficient evidence to recommend a standard deployment strategy. In 2012, a project was initiated in Katsina state, northern Nigeria, to design an appropriate and effective community-based delivery approach for SMC, in consultation ...

Lingering challenges in malaria elimination efforts in sub‐Saharan Africa: Insights and potential solutions

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Introduction Between 2000 and 2015, significant gains were recorded in reducing the global burden of malaria due to enhanced global collaboration and increased funding. However, progress has stagnated post‐2015, and the COVID‐19 pandemic seems to have reversed some of these gains, necessitating a critical reevaluation of interventions.
