Telling the Story

MACEPA’s Advocacy Agenda  Malaria’s continuing international profile requires success stories at national level  Sustained and increased investment contingent on demonstrated impact on national scale  Multi-country Scale Up For Impact success is key  Results of scale up efforts must be well documented in both human and scientific terms  African leaders must be prominent in telling the success story  RBM must build a partnership around success stories

MACEPA Advocacy Plan Objectives 1.Political leaders, donors, and partner organizations in Zambia commit to the national malaria strategic plan’s goal—rapid scale up for impact. 2.African governments adopt scaling up for impact as the standard of practice for malaria control in their countries. 3.Donors and key policymakers in developed countries adopt scaling up for impact as the standard for malaria control in Africa.

Opportunities for Partnership  Participate in the development of a consensus global advocacy framework  Align MACEPA inputs within near-term partnership implementation plan with targets, timelines and performance measures  Identify strategic points of intersection to jump start implementation of joint work plan
