This investment will contribute to the Malaria team bodies of work on strengthening routine surveillance and improving in-country data use. The investment will leverage and extend the existing Rollback Malaria Partnership – Surveillance, Monitoring and Evaluation Reference Group (RBM-SMERG) platform to more effectively convene and align the field, track global progress in strengthening routine surveillance systems, improve implementation partner coordination, increase visibility on new tools, and provide an effective mechanism to ensure national malaria control Program (NMCP) priorities are raised and addressed.
