Work in countries sequence

• Commitments by Heads of State

• Central Africa (Yaounde)
• Southern Africa (Maputo)
• Mekong Delta (Ho Chi Minh City)

Inception meetings

• Provide information on RBM concept
• Build consensus on ways to take forward
• Review summary info on
• malaria situation,
• actions underway or planned,
• health sector realities and plans,
• partnerships in place,
• partners plans
• Develop RBM action intention statement

Follow up

• Establish group to take forward RBM at country
  level
• Identify co-ordinator
• Emphasis on building partnership
• Offer support from Technical Network for
  situation analysis and RBM planning
• Sustain promising actions underway (malaria
  control, health sector devt SWAP, IMCI,
  community mobilisation)
• Incorporate RBM concept as appropriate

Country Plans

• Taken forward by national authorities
• Focus on intentions 2 year time horizon
  (2000-2001)
• Clarify priorities and core actions
• Work from within existing health strategies and
  programmes
• Identify critical preparatory actions between now

Challenges

• Avoid lots of meetings and planning work that
  takes people away from urgent on-going tasks
• Handle high expectations from national
  authorities
• Need to have a process established - with long
  time frame - to bring in significant new
  resources
• Sustain ongoing quality work
