Adaptive Malaria Control in Uganda
Robust Analytics for Malaria Policy
Adaptive malaria control is a methodology for managing malaria with high quality, robust analytics that includes two essential components:
it is cumulative and iterative; and
it is designed to manage uncertainty.
This methodology draws on principles developed for adaptive management of natural resources, including a reliance on mathematical theory and models. The concept is not entirely new to malaria, but it had not been formally described as a methodology or implemented by a national malaria program.
Over the past three years, we have defined adaptive malaria control as a methodology and developed prototype for national malaria programs working in collaboration with the RAMP Uganda Team, the National Malaria Elimination Division and the Department of Health Information, Ministry of Health, Uganda.
