Mass action for malaria free Uganda – Handbook for leaders

This handbook is meant for leaders including; the president, parliamentarians, government civil servants, religious and cultural leaders, media personnel, private sector, district, health facility, school teachers (teaching and non-teaching staff), community leaders and households.  It is developed to guide for the role in the fight against malaria for a healthy and productive nation. It is developed in reference to the Mass Action Against Malaria (MAAM), a multisectoral implementation approach of bringing everyone on board in the fight against malaria. MAAM aims to attain Uganda’s vision of a malaria-free Uganda with a slogan – “Am I malaria-free today?” MAAM aims to reach every household with malaria interventions where malaria is everyone’s business requiring mass action by all to mitigate against the severe effects of malaria including rampant sickness, death, high health expenditure and poverty.
