Planning and Budgeting for National Malaria Control
Planning and budgeting are key activities for effective malaria control scale-up. They represent efficient mechanisms for information collection, dissemination, and sharing as well as consensus-building and coordination. The results can be very useful for managing complex malaria programming. If structured well, planning and budgeting can be important annual activities for a programme and can contribute to stable and effective management of malaria programmes in a rapidly evolving environment.
