Abstract
In 2012, the Government of Canada awarded a grant to the
World Health Organization's Global Malaria Programme (GMP) to
support the scale-up of integrated community case management
(iCCM) of pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria among children under
5 in sub-Saharan Africa under the Rapid Access Expansion
Programme (RAcE). The two main objectives of the programme were
to: (1) Contribute to the reduction of child mortality due to
malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea by increasing access to
diagnostics, treatment and referral services, and (1) Stimulate
policy updates in participating countries and catalyze scale-up
of integrated community case management (iCCM) through
documentation and dissemination of best practices. Based on the
results of the implementation research and programmatic lessons,
this collection provides evidence on impact and improving
coverage of iCCM in routine health systems, and opportunities
and challenges of implementing and sustaining delivery of iCCM
at scale.
