Uganda remains one of the highest malaria-burden countries globally, with malaria accounting for up to 30-50% of all outpatient visits and a major driver of child and maternal morbidity and mortality. The country has historically been heavily reliant on external financing, primarily from the Global Fund and PMI, to sustain its National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP).
With increasing pressure on global aid budgets and calls for greater country ownership, there is an urgent need to build the evidence base and political will for increased domestic financing for malaria in Uganda. A compelling advocacy brief — grounded in health economic evidence, Uganda-specific data, and analysis of what domestic financing approaches have and have not worked — is critical to inform government decision-making and to support Uganda’s GC8 funding request to the Global Fund.
This consultancy will produce a high-quality advocacy paper that equips Malaria Consortium, the NMCP, and partner organisations with the tools needed to make the case for sustained and increased domestic investment in malaria elimination in Uganda.
Interested parties should submit their proposals on how they will deliver the assignment and their CVs electronically to tenders@malariaconsortium.org. The details are attached in the Terms of Reference.
