Tanzania Communication and Development Center: Focused malaria communication

Malaria is a major public health concern in Tanzania, with children under 5 and pregnant women most at risk. Some do not take action to prevent the disease, or fail to seek help for symptoms. Others do not trust test results, or stop taking malaria drugs when they start to feel better, without completing the dose. This project will promote people to take action to prevent malaria, seek treatment early, trust test results, and adhere to drugs. Using mass media, community events, small group meetings and one-to-one communication, the project will result in better awareness, more people sleeping under treated bed nets, and more people seeking tests and treatment early for symptoms of malaria.
