Malaria

The Malaria Prevention Campaign, launched in Oromia Region of Ethiopia by C-Change, assists communities to take specific actions to combat malaria. The focus is around small, doable actions that families can carry out to protect themselves against malaria. The community volunteers under direction from the local health workers support their communities, families, and schools to take the actions necessary to prevent malaria. Materials and tools developed by C-Change for the campaign are discussed below:

PIRCOM and C-Change signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on June 8, 2010 in Maputo, Mozambique that supports USAID’s efforts to control malaria and water-borne diseases.

Over the next two years, with assistance from the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), C-Change will partner with PIRCOM, a faith-based organization, to strengthen its organizational capacity to carry out social and behavior change communication.
