Impact Santé Afrique: Non-governmental organization
Title: Recruitment of a Consultant to capitalize on the experience of the Greater
Mekong Sub-region in Asia on the major role of CHWs in the fight against malaria in
Cameroon

Ref.: D245/EAP/2024

I. Context
The Greater Mekong Sub-region in Asia faces major challenges in the fight against
malaria. As part of the efforts to eliminate malaria in the countries of this region, Community
Health Workers (CHWs) are heavily involved in malaria eradication policies and strategies.
They play a major role in providing primary health care, raising community awareness and
facilitating access to screening and treatment services. The good practices observed in the
actions carried out by these CHWs constitute lessons learned that can be duplicated in other
contexts.
Impact Santé Afrique (ISA) is a non-governmental organization based in Cameroon,
whose main objective is to help improve people's health. It has set up the initiative
"Equitable Access in Malaria Fight", to increase the involvement of civil society in the
implementation of the National Strategic Plan for the Fight against Malaria in Cameroon. As
part of the implementation of this project's activities, a study will be carried out to better
identify and understand the major role played by Community Health Workers in eliminating
malaria in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region. The results of this study will be used to capitalize
on their experience in the local context of the fight against malaria in Cameroon.
To this end, ISA is recruiting a National Consultant who will be responsible for
capitalizing on the experience of the Greater Mekong Sub-region in Asia on the major role of
CHWs in the local context of the fight against malaria in Cameroon. This capitalization will
contribute to the development of recommendations and strategies aimed at strengthening
the use and effectiveness of CHWs in the fight against malaria in Cameroon.

Cameroon. This document will mainly target leaders and decision-makers as well as civil

 Propose a methodology for drafting the advocacy document;
