Project Summary

CMMB supports community-based malaria prevention activities in the malaria epidemic-prone highland counties of

Nyamira, Nandi and Kericho with support from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria through

Amref Health Africa in Kenya. This contributes to the national goal of reducing the malaria incidence and deaths by

at least 75% from 2016 levels by 2023 through case management of malaria at community level, building the

capacity of community health volunteers (CHV), and equipping, and supporting them. The project works towards

strengthening the health management information system (HMIS) for timely generation and reporting of

community-level malaria data into national reporting platforms. It seeks, to improve service delivery infrastructure at community and facility levels by supporting oversight and supportive supervision functions to guide both for CHV and healthcare workers in their work of improving malaria-related health outcomes in their communities.
