2. Promote positive malaria-related behaviors through behavior-change communication activities and community mobilization.
3. Improve the ability of the focus states and NMCP to effectively monitor and evaluate malaria interventions and use data effectively for decision-making.
The project is focused on seven states. Work is starting in three states during the first year and four additional states will be identified in year two. MAPS will work with public health sector and both the formal and informal private health sectors. The MAPS Team is comprised of a consortium of three partners: AED, the Malaria Consortium, and Health Partners International.
