Manuals for data collection and decision-making around malaria

Malaria is a major global health problem, with the African Region being the most severely impacted. In this Region, efforts have been made to align National Malaria Strategic Plans (NMSPs) with the framework of the Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016–2030. The vision of this programme is “a world free of malaria”. We worked with WHO to create technical user manuals that support and guide healthcare practitioners in effectively developing and reviewing these NMSPs. The manuals also provide step-by-step guidelines for carrying out several tasks that ensure high quality malaria data is collected from healthcare facilities and communities in the region. These manuals are now integral to the malaria programme activities undertaken by member states within the African Region.

Synthesis Report on Libreville Declaration

Lushomo worked with the African regional office of the WHO to help communicate complex data from across Africa. Focusing on issues of health and the environment, Lushomo created new types of communication materials that will hopefully get the world talking about how to safeguard health in rapidly changing African environments.

In 2008, African countries adopted the Libreville Declaration, committing themselves to establish an alliance between health and environment, as a basis for a joint plan of action. In 2015, African ministers will reconvene in an effort to discuss the progress, challenges and way forward.

Lushomo used raw data collected by 34 African countries, analysed it, and created the second Synthesis Report on African challenges and change in relation to environmental determinants of health. The aim is to use data and design to inform, inspire and motivate policy-makers, donors and the broader public alike.
