Project Overview:
USAID Cambodia Malaria Elimination Project-2 (CMEP2) goal is to eliminate malaria and prevent its re-introduction in target provinces, contributing towards nationwide elimination, and leading efforts towards self-reliance and sustained, self-financed malaria programming. The CMEP2 overall approach is through the development and scale-up of innovative and evidence-based malaria interventions that have proven success and relevance to Cambodia. CMEP2 works collaboratively with CNM, PHDs/ODs, PMI and other malaria control partners to develop and adapt interventions that are evidence-based, locally relevant and scalable. CMEP2 supports provincial health departments (PHDs) and operational districts (ODs) to monitor malaria data and tailor interventions by level of risk. Particular attention is paid to high-risk populations. CMEP2 designs and implements activities jointly with CNM and PHDs/ODs as part of its sustainability plan and to foster self-reliance.
