Strategic approach 4: Support countries to strengthen the capacity of malaria control programmes at national and district levels as part of a health system strengthening approach

The improvement of national institutional capacity for planning and management of malaria control is a crucial strategy for sustainable malaria control programmes. To address this, WHO will provide technical support to countries to develop their malaria control programmes, as part of the health care delivery system, in three interrelated domains: infrastructure and facilities; human resources; and information. WHO will also provide technical support for the establishment of efficient mechanisms for procurement and distribution and quality control of medicines, reagents, insecticides and other essential commodities.
