Elimination of Malaria in Mesoamerica and the Island of Hispaniola (EMMIE)
Objectives
The program objective is to coordinate participating countries to shift from a malaria control focus towards a shared goal of zero local malaria cases for 2020 through:
- Definition of regional cross-cutting lines of action;
- Shift of strategy and policies from control to elimination;
- Strengthening health systems; strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation; strengthening participating countries’ capabilities; and
- Fostering an expanded funding framework to include multiple funding sources at national and regional level
