The Alliance for Malaria Prevention currently has six Working Groups that are each led by chairs/co-chairs. Working Groups are an important part of the AMP Partnership. They are structures that lead discussions and work around critical areas of the AMP workplan established by the AMP staff team. The Working Groups focus on areas of concern or interest for ITN planning and implementation across different distribution channels.
Current working groups include:
Continuous Distribution (CD)
The Continuous Distribution Working Group focuses on operational issues arising during planning and implementation of ITN continuous distribution and reflects on strategies for operationalizing key learning from continuous distribution pilots and programmes to date to strengthen country implementation.
Country Support
Through distance and in-country missions, AMP provides expert technical assistance to countries planning ITN distribution. Assistance covers all aspects of planning, implementation and follow-up.
Emerging Issues
The Innovation and Evaluation Working Group’s (IEWG) provides support to AMP members and countries by identifying and developing strategies to address emergent issues related to the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of strategies and channels for increasing ITN ownership and use.
Net Mapping Project
The Net Mapping Project surveys every WHO-pre-qualified ITN manufacturer each quarter and quantifies the number of nets that have been shipped to countries by net type on a worldwide basis.
Toolkit and Training
The Toolkit and Training Working Group is focused on identifying operational bottlenecks for achieving and sustaining universal coverage with ITNs, working with partners to find solutions and developing and disseminating guidance to support modifications to planning and implementation to improve ITN distribution outcomes.
