Malaria Toolkit: Communication for Prevention and Treatment of Malaria

This toolkit on malaria prevention in Zambia, produced by the Health Communication Partnership (HCP) Zambia (a project of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs), was created to help Neighborhood Health Committees, community health workers, and community volunteers and leaders to educate their communities about malaria prevention methods and encourage behaviour change activities in their communities that would lead to the prevention of malaria. As stated in the toolkit, all the activities can be done using people’s time, materials, and support available in their own communities, and with little or no outside funding.

The toolkit includes:

• 5 Malaria posters
• 1 Audio CD with 2 Action for Health with Sister Evelina episodes and 5 malaria spots. Topics covered by the audio spots are insecticide-treated nets, intermittent preventive treatment (malaria in pregnancy), malaria treatment, and indoor residual spraying.
• 1 Drama set with 4 sample scripts
• 1 Quiz with malaria quiz questions and answers
• 1 Handbook
• 2 Annie the Anopheles plastic bags
