Review of Management and Organizational Capacity of the National Malaria Control Program in Malawi
One of the keys to the success and sustainability of a national malaria control program (NMCP) is the organizational and management capacity of the program. To address this issue, the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) requested Health Systems 20/20 to develop a systematic method to review the management and organizational capacity of NMCPs, identify the key organizational capacity-building needs, and use the results to develop and implement a capacity improvement plan. PMI asked the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Malawi if it would accept such an activity being carried out there. The MOH gave its formal approval and PMI then fielded a three-person team consisting of two international consultants and a local consultant from January 14-29, 2008.
