Since 2003, Malaria Consortium Uganda. has established herself as a leading technical research and implementing organization for holistic malaria and childhood disease control in the country. We work closely with the Ugandan Ministry of Health at national and sub-national levels to strengthen staff capacity and provide technical support for the control of malaria and other childhood diseases.
To prevent malaria in those most vulnerable to the disease’s effects in areas where malaria transmission is seasonal, the World Health Organization lWH0l recommends seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC). The Uganda National Malaria Reduction Strategic Plan 2021-2025 recommends the implementation of SMC in areas with highly seasonal malaria like Karamoja region. The acceptability. feasibility and effectiveness protective efficacy as well as implementation modalities of SMC in the Uganda context need to be studied, well understood and documented before SMC is scaled up and adopted as policy.
Malaria Consortium in collaboration with the National Malaria Division in Uganda, has planned to implement an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 1 project to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention in two districts in Karamoja, Uganda.
Malaria Consortium therefore. seeks to recruit qualified individuals to fill the position of Research Coordinator-SMC based at our Moroto Field Office.
