Thanks for posting Rafique. It clearly shows the importance of trust and partnership between the different stakeholders. It is clear that each stakeholder has its strengths and we should continue 'looking for strengths' in order for partnerships to work.

Networking and participation/ involvement of all stakeholders from the beginning is essential for one major reason: ownership of the process and outcomes. Sometimes, it does take more time (and perhaps it's easier if just a consultant fixed the process), but on the longer term you'll pay the ownership price....

Regards,
Gaston

Dear All,

The article called, "Fighting malaria in urban India. Public and private sector stakeholders join forces." is a must read for those aiming for Malaria competence. It is available at:
http://www.id21.org/zinter/id21zinter.exe?a=0&i=insights32art4&u=4a1de641

However on this page, I tried to look at the diagrams by clicking for the Insights #32 Full document, but this link does not work.

So, I searched around and googled till I got the missing diagrams with the full text at:
http://www.id21.org/insights/insights32/insights-iss32-art04.html

Hope this saves time for every one of us who want to be better informed about Malaria competence.

Rafique

Hello friends,
As a way of promoting malaria competence at the family we ask families basic questions:
Do all your families sleep under bednets
Do they know the signs and symptoms of malaria and know what to do when they are affected
Are the pregnant women benefiting from malaria in pregnancy services mainly IPT and ITNs

Adam, that is great to hear that you have been promoting self assessments at the family level at WMD. PLEASE, do share that experience in the forum:
http://aidscompetence.ning.com/forum/topics/groups-around-the-world-take I do agree that it is time to together beef up the Malaria Competence efforts. Hopefully soon other friends will join the platform and we can build the working group around that here. Will you encourage the champions from The Gambia to join?
Take care,
Marlou
