New tools for malaria prevention and control are coming.

Do you know what they are?

New vaccines, medicines, antibodies, nets, and tools that target mosquitoes are all here or close.

This course helps you make sense of each one, then think through what this will mean for your community.

Who this is for

This course is for anyone who works for health in a community affected by malaria.

If you see malaria in your clinic, your data, or your community, this course is for you.

You do not need a science degree to join. You need to know how malaria affects your community.

What you will take away

You join people who face what you face. You will meet colleagues who work in conditions like yours. You are not solving this alone.

1. Practical knowledge of the new tools that are coming, and what each one can and cannot do.
2. A clearer sense of your own role, drawn from what you did when you introduced something new before.
3. The real words you would use with a leader, a mother, a father, and a child to introduce one tool, plus the risks and the people most likely to be left out.

Everything aligns with the WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016 to 2030, which the course connects to your community.

How the learning works

1. First you look back at a time you introduced something new, and name what built trust and what you would change.
2. Then you work through one future tool for your own setting.
3. Then colleagues help you. And you help them.

Certification

When you finish this course, you will earn an official Certificate from The Geneva Learning Foundation. Your certificate tells donors and employers that you know about new tools and what they mean for your community.

This primer is one step, not the finish line. It opens the door to the full “Malaria: Turning the Tide” Certificate peer learning programme.
