The first engagements with the directors and staff of the National Malaria Control Programs in Mali, Ghana and Burkina Faso were made.
This meeting presented the project concept and launched the iterative engagement process. To this end, a mapping of NMCPs in sub-Saharan Africa and their key contacts was initiated.
A meeting was held with the PDNA Board of Directors, as well as a PDNA GEME project kick-off meeting with IPs and PNLP members in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The Addis meeting was also an opportunity to pilot the needs assessment survey tool.
