Background  

PMI Impact Malaria  

The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) Impact Malaria project is PMI’s flagship global service delivery project,  supporting countries in their efforts to fight malaria and save lives by strengthening diagnosis, treatment, and drug-based  prevention for those most at risk—particularly young children and pregnant women. PMI Impact Malaria is a USAID  contract hosted and led by PSI as the prime contractor and Jhpiego as an implementing partner in Sierra Leone.

PMI Impact Malaria is helping national malaria control programs tackle malaria service delivery challenges by working  to:

∙ Close the gaps in malaria diagnosis and treatment to get the right medicine, with the correct diagnosis, to patients  in need, in the timeliest manner.

∙ Unlock the potential of key drug-based prevention approaches by helping countries introduce, implement, and  scale-up proven interventions.

∙ Strengthen malaria health systems and data for decision-making to accelerate service delivery improvements  and advance key learnings.

The PMI Impact Malaria (IM) team provides global technical leadership along with implementation support and technical  assistance in health facility and community settings in up to 27 countries around the world. We are a focused, multi disciplined, and multi-cultured team based out of Washington DC, working through partner offices in the respective  counties.

In Sierra Leone the project supports the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) and the NMCP to implement key  malaria service delivery interventions at the national level and across ten focus districts. IM SL supports the NMCP to  strengthen malaria case management at the community and facility levels, with an emphasis on addressing severe malaria  and MIP, bolstering the national laboratory diagnostics system, and building capacity in the collection and use of data for  decision-making.

In Sierra Leone, IM, in support of the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP), seeks to improve Case Management  (CM) and prevention of Malaria in Pregnancy (MIP) services through two of the three overall objectives of the project,  namely:

Objective 1: Improve the quality of and access to malaria case management and malaria prevention during pregnancy.

Objective 3: In support of Objective 1, provide global technical leadership, support operational research, and advance  program learning.
