About Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance

Background: Afghanistan is one of the high reported PV malaria cases (11%) among the (85%) of estimated vivax malaria cases among six Eastern Mediterranean countries. Malaria continues to be a major public health problem in Afghanistan. The transmission of malaria is seasonal, and its distribution varies largely from place to place, depending on a variety of factors related to parasites, vectors, and human populations under different geographical, ecological, and socio-economic conditions in the country. 27% of the Afghan population lives in areas at high risk for malaria, 50% at medium risk, and the remaining 23% live in areas with no risk or very low risk of malaria transmission (WMR 2019)

Due to the substantial impact of scaled-up interventions (including the distribution of LLINs through the mass campaign and ANC, the use of a new generation of anti-malarial (ACT) and Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT), indoor residual spraying during the outbreaks) along with the mobilized serious commitment of the government and international partners, socio-economic improvements, climate changes and some other factors a significant progress has been made toward control of malaria resulting in decreasing its burden in Afghanistan. Countrywide there is a significant reduction in malaria deaths from 47 to zero death and malaria cases from 384,943 to 174,893 (54.6%) compared to 2016 to 2019.

The malaria project is implemented across the country with the biggest operation in the endemic eastern region. UNDP will contract BPHS implementers to deliver the project as an integrated package with the BPHS grants. The BPHS implementers will use its offices across the country, storage facilities, and health centers. To ensure the sustainability of malaria control efforts, malaria case management and surveillance are integrated into BPHS/EPHS health service delivery and the services are delivered through community engagement (CBMM). The use of CHWs to deliver services to the communities ensures efficient coverage of the population in remote areas.

Objective: Lead, coordinate and monitor the malaria project activities at the national and provincial levels.
