Dear Malaria Competence Friends,

Now that many of us are getting back to their offices, I think it is
time for an update on activities:

In answer to the request of many of you and with support from the RBM
partnership, the Malaria Competence Community is working on the
production
of a set of documents that capture lessons learned and help countries
in
their Malaria (Competence) Activities.

In the coming month we would like to draw more lessons from experience
and
refine existing available materials from the group.

1) We want to add concrete examples to the *knowledge assets* that
were
build from Yaoundé. These Knowledge Assets are available in the Yahoo
platform under 'files', and for this purpose we would like to focus on
the
knowledge assets on: demand creation, prevention, effective timely
treatment, strenghthening delivery systems.

2) A *toolbox* for facilitators of the Malaria Competence Process is
now
available in the files section of the yahoo platform - in French and
English.

3) There is a great need of a *critical appraisal* of the Malaria
Competence
Approach - why does it work, what needs to be improved, why would
groups use
the approach.

We would like to request your help to ensure quality of these
products.
During the month of September we will use this platform to obtain
answers
to upcoming questions while we are working on these docs; we may also
contact you individually.

*Also, please let me
(**marlou@...*<marlou@...>
*) know if you are interested to spend quality time to work on one or
more
of the above items; where needed and applicable we can discuss
financial
compensation for your contribution. Your input would be very much
appreciated! *

Hope that together we can improve our materials and bring them up to
date -
towards more Malaria Competence!

Marlou
