The President’s Malaria Initiative Program Component (StopPalu) is a three-year project with the goal of assisting the Government of Guinea to achieve the PMI target of reducing malaria morbidity and mortality through prevention, diagnosis and treatment interventions, and capacity building of the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP).  The program has three intermediate result areas: 1) Improved malaria prevention in support of the National Malaria Strategy, 2) Diagnostic testing and malaria treatment capacity improved, 3) National Malaria Control Program’s technical capacity to plan, design, manage, and coordinate a comprehensive malaria control program enhanced. RTI International is implementing StopPalu, supported by the sub-partners Jhpiego, the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), and Centre Africain de Formation pour le Développement (CENAFOD). The project covers 14 districts and the 5 communes of Conakry, known as the “PMI zone” for malaria control.
