Strengthening Provincial Resource Mobilization for Malaria: Lessons from Khánh Hòa and Lai Châu

To address these systemic challenges and to identify scalable approaches for strengthening domestic resource mobilization, Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance (APLMA) and PATH partnered with the National Institute of Malariology, Parasitology and Entomology (NIMPE) to conduct focused provincial-level advocacy in Khánh Hòa and Lai Châu in 2024. The two provinces’ epidemiological importance, coupled with documented gaps in budget planning and execution, made them ideal demonstration sites. Their experience offers critical insights into how Viet Nam can consolidate hard-won gains and ensure that financing mechanisms are robust enough to support the country’s last mile towards malaria elimination.
