RACING AGAINST MALARIA 2 (RAM2): PROJECT PROPOSAL

Racing Against Malaria 2 (RAM2)

A Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) free from malaria parasites

April 13–25, 2014

Project Proposal


1. Background

In November 2003, countries in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) organized

the 1st Racing Against Malaria (RAM1) campaign with convoys of national malaria teams driving

from Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe to Dar es

Salaam, United Republic of Tanzania. This event was coordinated by the National Malaria Control

Programmes (NMCPs) with the support of SADC Military Health Services and active involvement

of in-country, regional and

global partners and

stakeholders. The goal of RAM1

was to create awareness for

action against malaria in

southern Africa and the SADC

region. More specifically, it

raised the local, national, and

international profile of malaria,

increased public and community

awareness of the disease profile

and its burden on the

population, and mobilized

resources for strengthening

malaria control infrastructure,

Through this campaign, malaria control-related commodities and materials (insecticide-treated

mosquito nets [ITNs], medicines, indoor residual spraying [IRS] equipment and chemicals, tee-

shirts, posters, displays, etc.) were also marshalled for distribution at all RAM1 stops along the

way.

The RAM1 campaign was followed in 2008 by the Zambezi River of Life Malaria Expedition (ZOL),

coordinated by the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership, the Southern African Roll Back Malaria

Network (SARN), the SADC Military Health Services and other partners. During this expedition,

access to communities was only possible via the Zambezi River and its tributaries. The ZOL raised

global awareness about the high burden of malaria along the low lying river valley and lack of

access to health care faced by the Zambezi River Valley/basin communities. It highlighted access

barriers (geographical/topographical difficulties, rugged terrain, poor road infrastructure, long

distances to health facilities) to malaria prevention and control interventions/services, as well as

the need for community case management (CCM), community-based workers (CBWs), cross-

border referrals and mobile outreach programmes through mobile boat clinics. The plight of

these communities was conveyed via messages delivered nationally, regionally and globally

through DVDs, special news casts and documentaries on radio and television, and during forums

organized in New York and Geneva. This was followed by expression of interest to support the

Trans-Zambezi cross-border Malaria Initiative (TZMI) by some partners, including the Global

Health Group; Southern African Regional Network (SARN); Roll Back Malaria (RBM); the J.C.

Flowers Foundation; the World Health Organization (WHO); the SADC Secretariat; the Malaria

Control and Evaluation Partnership in Africa (MACEPA), a programme at PATH; Sanofi; in-country

RBM partners; and the SADC Health Ministers through the Elimination 8 (E8) forum.


These two advocacy events confirmed that regional advocacy campaigns—supported by malaria

control stakeholders and partners as well as large communities in malaria zones—helped deliver

essential malaria commodities to those in need including in the most remote areas, and

increased malaria awareness at all levels.

Lessons learned

2. Rationale for the 2nd Racing Against Malaria (RAM2)

The E8 Initiative was launched in 2009 to strengthen existing cross-border collaborations in

southern Africa and trigger additional efforts between SADC front-line countries (Botswana,

Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland) and second-line ones (Angola, Mozambique, Zambia,

Zimbabwe) on the way to malaria elimination. The challenge has become that of acceleration

towards this objective. First, the countries require capacity strengthening and financial support

as well as guidance to reduce the local transmission of malaria to zero (“getting to zero”).

Second, once this has been achieved, they must “hold the line”. Third, they must secure the

malaria free ground and “maintain it”.

All communities can be reached and informed of the need for reporting early to

health facilities, even those in isolated areas.

Malaria can be eliminated if these communities take ownership of their

programmes and activities.

High-visibility campaigns can i) gain advocacy from international organizations,

decision-makers at the highest level and influential opinion leaders, and

ii) reach major funding organizations.


• The RAM2 will emphasize the need for active screening and parasite detection,

notification and rapid response through case-based surveillance. This will require

strengthening CCM by building capacity for CBWs or village health workers (VHWs).

CBWs/WHWs should be provided with tools (bicycles, rapid diagnostic tests [RDTs],

artemisinin-based combination therapies [ACTs], mobile phones, etc.) that will keep them

mobile and connected, and enable them to screen, treat, follow up and immediately

report via mobile smart phones.

There is a frequent and regular movement of malaria-infected populations across the SADC

frontiers, from higher malaria transmission areas to low transmission zones and vice versa. This

leads to malaria outbreaks within the communities of low transmission countries (especially in

remote communities) correlated with high malaria burden and associated mortality due to the

low immunity. Under this scenario, front-line countries in the “Elimination 8”—and some districts

in second-line countries which are targeted for malaria elimination—will not be able to achieve

zero cases and deaths (“getting to zero”). As malaria cases decline, they become increasingly

localized; thus, elimination interventions must be targeted and intensified in the residual foci of

malaria transmission.

• The RAM2 will highlight that this must be done “by and with” the people. CHWs and

malaria surveillance agents will need to be trained to identify and diagnose malaria using

RDTs and to be the frontline “eyes and ears” of the system that will quickly alert the

health facilities. Once a case has been found, active case detection must be carried out in

order to identify new cases and interrupt transmission. This will enable the treatment of

asymptomatic parasite carriers who may be a major source of continued transmission.

• Emphasis will be on community and district ownership and the need for political leaders to

increase domestic funding for malaria. To accomplish this, leadership and coordination for

malaria elimination must lie with the national malaria programmes of Ministries of Health.

Therefore, high level advocacy, continued political leadership and oversight as well as

increased domestic funding and human resources are essential for achieving and

sustaining elimination requirements.

With this in mind, and inspired by the success of the 2003 and 2008 awareness campaigns and of

the Lubombo Spatial Development Initiative (LSDI) as a malaria control cross-border

collaboration (annual incidence reduced by 90% between 1999 and 2008 in the targeted areas),

the NMCPs, the SADC Military Malaria Technical Committee and the SARN requested support

from the SADC Military Health Services Chiefs during their Annual General Meeting in October

2011 to carry out a “Reverse” RAM in 2013 (RAM2) in cross-border/river basin districts.


Angola and Namibia Health Ministers embrace to mark the launch of the Trans-Kunene cross-border Malaria Initiative

(TKMI) in 2011.

3. Objectives for the RAM2

The RAM2 Initiative is oriented at highlighting the need for supporting i) universal intervention

scale-up in countries still in the control phase and ii) malaria elimination by 2015 in low

transmission/pre-elimination countries in Southern Africa. To reduce and eliminate malaria

transmission in the targeted border districts within the SADC region, the RAM2 will aim at:

• Identifying gaps to sustain malaria service delivery to eliminate malaria in remote border

districts.

• Mobilizing leaders and empowering communities for malaria elimination.

• Supporting multi-sectoral action (Private Sector, NGOs, Military-Uniformed Forces, River

basin authorities, Foreign Affairs, Home affairs, Local Government, trade, Agriculture,

Roads, Mining, National Parks, Environment, Tourism and related operations others)for

malaria elimination.

• Mobilizing resources and deliverables (spray pumps, insecticides, RDTs, ACTs, LLIBNs,

mobile phones, microscopes, reagents etc.) for cross-border malaria initiatives and for

malaria elimination in border districts.

• Developing a cross- border regional surveillance system to identify transmission foci

(parasitological and entomological) and coordinate, monitor, evaluate and report on

surveillance activities in communities through:


- active and passive case detection, notification, investigation, and follow-up

within 24 hours of notification by searching for parasites in and around the foci,

and treating infected people in accordance with the “T3: Test, Treat and Track”

strategy;

- mapping of foci and villages where confirmed malaria cases occur;

- focus on malaria control in mobile populations such as migrants, travelers and

tourists;

- awareness strengthening among the communities and reinforcement of

community participation and ownership to achieve i) universal access to malaria

control services and ii) improved health status of both resident and mobile

populations;

- mapping of stakeholders and partners to support cross-border malaria control

and elimination.

The Initiative will also undertake post-RAM follow-up activities, namely:

• Support programmes in low transmission areas and/or those in the pre-elimination stage

to strengthen information, education and communication (IEC)/behavior change

communication (BCC) for communities.

• Help programmes to increase health promotion levels and expand community- and

home-based malaria control and multi-sectoral collaboration to ensure community

mobilization among cross-border populations (while making sure isolated populations—

river valley communities, illegal border jumpers, migrants, travelers and tourists—are

also reached).

• Support programmes to strengthen district- and community-level ownership of the

malaria elimination activities.

• Strengthen cross-border coordination and expansion of cross-borders to cover all SADC

countries

• Production of the RAM 2 report and facilitate countries to document achievements and

best practices

4. The RAM2 rally

Rally participants are individuals, institutions or organizations who share the need for a

malaria-free Africa and seek to achieve parasite-free communities. These include national

programmes; laboratory scientists, technologists, and technicians; health workers trained in

RDT use; knowledge, IEC/BCC officers; military health services, NGOs and private sector

partners. The actual number of malaria RAM2 teams per country will be determined by

logistic requirements and the available funding.


The rally will start in Dar es Salaam,Tanzania on 13 April 2014 and closing ceremonies are

scheduled for 25 April 2014 in the TKMI area on the Namibia-Angola border. Country

participants—expected to arrive in Dar es Salaam no later than April 12—will be given RAM2

participant certificates after passing through the following:

Tanzania-Malawi border (Kyela border region) or Trans-Ruvuma cross-border area (TRMI)

Tanzania-Zambia border

Malawi-Zambia-Mozambique border (MAZAMO-mi)

Zambia-Democratic Republic of the Congo border (TCK-mi)

Malawi-Mozambique border (Mwanza-Zobue)

Mozambique-Zimbabwe border (Tete-Nyamapnada)

Mozambique-Swaziland-South Africa border (LSDI area)

South Africa-Zimbabwe-Musina-Beitbridge border (MOZIZA area)

Trans-Zambezi Malaria Initiative (TZMI)/Zambezi river basin: Caprivi region (Victoria Falls,

Livingstone, Kazungula-Ksane and Katima Mlilo).

The RAM 2 teams will arrive at the Angola-Namibia border (Ohangwena-Santa Clara) on 24 April

will participate in the 2014 World Malaria Day events the following day. Stop-overs are set in

border districts intentionally with major events being held at strategic points to support the

pivotal role played by cross-border/river basin initiatives and the E8 in the SADC Malaria

Elimination campaigns. The route ensures coverage of cross-border areas in all E8 countries

including the DRC.

Figure 1: Route map with cross-border activity sites


5. RAM2 malaria control activities, deliverables and key messages

Activities - A number of malaria prevention- and control-related activities will be organized at

cross-border localities/river basin communities (see Figure 1), allowing participants to interact

with residents of local communities and provide RDTs and treatment to all positive cases. They

will also map sites where positive cases are detected and arrange with the local health teams for

follow-up. Malaria border district/river basin communities’ profiles as well as district control and

elimination plans will be updated to indicate gaps towards universal coverage.

In addition, demonstrations of other malaria-related activities will be conducted. They will

namely focus on strengthening the “T3: Test, Treat and Track” surveillance strategy based on

i) active case detection and ii) tracking of all positive cases at household level with mobile phone

technology. This will ensure cure and elimination of local malaria hotspots. Thus, at each activity

site, screening will be carried out and combination treatment given to those with parasites.

Emphasis will also be on the need to increase domestic funding parallel to international funding

to ensure sustainability and continuity without which malaria could strike back.

Deliverables - The previous RAM focused on traditional commodities such as long-lasting

insecticidal nets (LLINs), insecticides, hand compression pumps, microscopes, reagents, bicycles,

ACTs, caps and T-shirts. The 2014 RAM2 will prioritize mobilization of deliverables that enhance

the removal of parasites from the SADC communities: geographical information system

(GIS)/global positioning system (GPS) equipment, mobile phones, mobile malaria vehicles,

motorbikes, bicycles, RDTs, ACTs, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) equipment and reagents,

protective equipment, application equipment (sprayers), insecticides, LLINs, microscopes, tents

and protective equipment. The RAM2 will facilitate pledges by the private sector, the corporate

world and other partners to support some activities in cross-border districts. This will enable

districts and communities to consolidate and hold the ground to ensure no re-

infection/resurgence occurs.

Key messages - The RAM2 communication campaign will revolve around “A SADC community

free from malaria parasites”, “Moving from malaria control to elimination” and “Malaria

elimination 2020”. Emphasis will be placed on establishment and strengthening of malaria cross-

border/river basin initiatives. Efforts will be made to help health workers, partners, leaders and

communities understand better the concept of “malaria free populations”, whether

symptomatic or asymptomatic. The agenda of the RAM2 will focus on techniques and strategies

for accelerating malaria elimination in some SADC countries by 2015 and 2020 and the concrete

plans and proposals for action country by country. Thus the “T3: Test, Treat and Track” campaign

will be emphasized among health workers in border districts to ensure all people live free of

malaria parasites.


6. The RAM2 initiative – different development stages

The RAM2 initiative will be managed by a SARN regional and RAM2 NMCP and military

coordinators who will ensure in-country activities are carried out on time and safely. The process

will be facilitated by the SARN Secretariat, SADC Military Malaria Technical Committee, SADC and

NMCP managers. Coordination will be carried out via e-mail, teleconferences and face-to-face

meetings where possible. Four key committees will be formed to develop the RAM initiative (see

Table 6 in Annex) divided into seven phases:

• Pre-RAM2/preparatory phase (August 2013–April 2014) – will focus on the establishment of

coordination committees responsible for command, control and logistics; advocacy; and

mobilization of funds, commodities and deliverables. Border district malaria profiles and plans

will be updated and resource gaps for universal coverage will be identified in districts along

borders between i) Tanzania-Malawi, ii) Tanzania-Zambia, iii) DRC-Zambia, iv) Zambia-Malawi,

v) Zambia-Zimbabwe, vi) Malawi-Mozambique, vii) Mozambique-South Africa-Swaziland,

viii) Mozambique-Zimbabwe, ix) South Africa-Zimbabwe-Botswana, x) Botswana-Namibia and

xi) Namibia-Angola.


• Documentation (on-going) – malaria profiles of the border/river basin will be documented,

plans and proposal written and the RAM2 report produced after the event. As documentation

is on-going during all phases of the RAM2, a team of planners and writers from the region will

be established with country malaria profiles and related stories. The final RAM2 document and

country project proposals are expected to be ready and launched by SADC Malaria Day in

November 2014.

• Staging phase (March-April 2014) – will bring all participating country teams together in their

respective countries in preparation for their departure to the launch point. The timeframe for

this stage will vary from country to country and will depend on their state of preparation, as

well as on the time required for their timely arrival in Dar es Salaam.

• Convoy/rally phase (13–25 April 2014) – described in detail in Chapter 4.

• Convoy/return phase (April 26–28, 2014) - the drivers will take the vehicles back, and some

participants will fly back home with transportation arranged from Windhoek.

• RAM2 report production– the SARN Secretariat will coordinate and facilitate the RAM2 report

and documentaries. Each NMCP will provide a report of their preparation and experiences

during the RAM, including photos and video clips by June 2014. All the reports will be merged

and a draft report is expected to be completed by 30 July 2014, then shared with all NMCPs

and partners for inputs. Feedback will be expected by 20 August 2014 and the final report

should be ready for printing by 30 September 2014 and disseminated to stakeholders by 10

November 2014. The 2014 SADC Malaria Day will be used as a major dissemination event.

• Post-RAM follow-up phase – activity monitoring and evaluation will be conducted and

supervisory visits made to RAM2 districts in order to follow up on implementation, report on

progress and remind communities of malaria elimination. All NMCPs are expected to follow up

in all RAM2 activity sites in their respective areas to ensure continuity and obtain feedback.

Information from the communities will be instrumental for the NMCPs to evaluate and

document the impact of RAM2 with regard to behaviour change, as well as to disease control

and prevention activities. These reports will then be merged by the SARN Secretariat into one

regional report at the end of 2015.

7. RAM2 sponsorship

Fundraising events will be carried out in all countries in the presence of high profile dignitaries,

including malaria champions; country presidents; prime ministers; ministers of foreign affairs,

health, agriculture, water development, tourism and others; governors, mayors, etc.

The RBM advocacy and fundraising machinery will be activated to collect funds in several cities,

namely New York, Washington, Geneva, Brussels, London, Paris and Johannesburg. In addition,

private sector partners and the corporate world in the SADC region will be invited to support

RAM2 activities.

Sponsors will be highlighted during the launch of the event in Dar es Salaam, during all activities

at selected sites, at special high level stops in Lilongwe, Maputo, and Victoria Falls as well as

during the closing ceremonies at the Namibia- Angola border. Special Award Certificates will be


given to all sponsors.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for every malaria control/elimination stakeholder to

actively participate: public and private sector/institutions, the corporate world, organizations,

agencies, cross-border transport operators, aviation industry, banking communities, mining,

agriculture, telecommunication/mobile phone operators, motor sports companies, TV

personalities, music artists, actors, political leaders/parliament/senators, chiefs and community

leaders, international sporting idols (basket-ballers, footballers, golfers, motor sporting

champions, swimmers, athletes). While all donations, regardless of the size are welcomed,

sponsorship for the RAM2 has been divided into five levels (see Table 1 in Annex). All funds will

be allocated in a specific bank account opened by RBM for the event.

A list of equipment, commodities and materials donated by sponsors and to be used or displayed
