1 Tanzania s Progress in Combating Malaria: Achievement and Challenges DR RENATA A MANDIKE DEPUTY PROGRAMME MANAGER NATIONAL MALARIA CONTROL PROGRAMME, MINISTRY OF HEALTH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, GENDER, ELDERLY AND CHILDREN, TANZANIA MAINLAND Swiss TPH Winter Symposium 8 th -9 th December 2016, Basel Switzerland

2 Outline Background Malaria in Tanzania, c Summary of resources and partnerships Strengthening and expanding intervention coverage over a decade Evolving strategies to distribute LLINs and increase use Improving malaria case management Impact of intensified coverage Looking ahead

3 Background: Malaria in Tanzania Among the top ten countries with high malaria burden in Africa Over 93% of the population at risk of malaria Available evidence suggest a transitioning epidemiology of malaria in Tanzania from very high to meso-endemic and low levels Malaria remains the leading cause of OPD, admissions and death High heterogeneity: aggregated parasite prevalence at district level ranging from 0%- 65% (SMPS 2015)

4 RBM Partnerships in Tanzania: from Inception to Present Inception in 1999 and implemented through thru Health sector reforms Increased political engagement in malaria control-abuja declaration, millennium development goals Increased partnership and investment in malaria control - GF, PMI, WB, UNICEF, SDC, DFID GF commenced in 2004 introduction of TNVS, later other interventions PMI support from 2006 covering all interventions Scaling up malaria control made possible

5 Key Interventions: 5

6 Milestones: Tanzania s Malaria Control Policy , and Social marketing of ITNs LSM targeted ITN Voucher Scheme for PW ITN Voucher scheme for infants IRS targeted IRS scale up LLIN catch-up campaign LLIN universal coverage campaign LSM scale up LLIN School net Replacement program Campaign LLIN RCH SP IPTp 1 st Medium-Term Strategic Plan, ACTs RDTs AMFm IPTp 3+ 2 nd Medium-Term Strategic Plan, Inj Artesunate Vaccine, MSAT, MDA 3 rd Medium-Term Strategic Plan, Source: NMCP

7 Malaria Control Phases and Timeliness:

17 All-cause Child Mortality: Infant Mortality Child Mortality U5 Mortality Source,: DHS, THMIS, MIS

18 Changes in Endemicity Class as Reflected by Prevalence in Children Aged 2 10 Years In the last 10 years we have observed epochal changes from established high mesoendemicity to established the present low mesoendemicity/hypo-endemicity. In this context, malaria is now more unstable and highly sensitive to seasonal and annual climatic variations. Source,: NMCP Malaria prevalence and endemicity

19 Parasite prevalence by setting and health quintiles, Urban Rural Lowest Second Middle Fourth Highest Total Residence Wealth quintile Source,: DHS, THMIS, MIS

20 Critical Factors Associated with Success in Tanzania Strong GoT commitment and leadership Stable and significant partner support Coordinated partnership with donors, implementing partners, research community Programme s willingness to try new and innovative interventions

21 Challenges Sustaining and expanding the gains to further reduce malaria burden; we don t have long term funding High diversity of malaria transmission, we need to plan effectively Data management capacity at NMCP is limited, limiting effective decision making using available data (National, school surveys and routine) Inadequate human resource and skills for effective delivery of health system including HMIS, Logistics, Quality of Care Insecticide resistance, limited and highly expensive choices for implementation of Insecticide resistance Mitigation Plan Limited involvement of other sectors that are linked to malaria transmission

22 Looking Ahead Maintain high LLIN coverage and use, using different delivery methods (Keep up strategies) Reliable supply of anti-malarials and diagnostics to avoid stock outs Strengthen malaria surveillance (disease, programmatic and transmission) Implement alternative vector control interventions to manage insecticide resistance and outdoor transmission (IRS and larviciding) Promote routine HF based data quality and use Better engagement of community in malaria control through effective behaviour change Mid review of the programme to plan strategically considering a stratified approach to maximize outcomes Resource mobilization: Government and Development Partners

23 Conclusions Significant progress has been achieved over the past decade, but this is fragile; long term investments are essential to maintain present gains As transmission is highly diverse and resources are limited, a stratified approach is essential to maximise outcomes and impact
