Minimal Elements of Successful Global Reporting
Systems

• Successful and Sustained Global Disease Reporting
  Systems include the following elements
• Standardized indicators
• Indicator manual (well-defined, numerators,
  denominators, and expected sources)
• Established data collection process/forms
• Designated person to complete (HQ, Regions,
  Countries)
• Expected schedule/timeline for completion
• Database
• Centralized
• Accessible online and through regions/countries
• Consistent reporting format
• Accessible online and through regions/countries
• Engaged feedback from HQ, Regions, Countries
• Represents input from each stakeholder

Basic Malaria ME Framework

• Input Process Outputs
  Outcomes Impact

• Service delivery
• knowledge, skills, practice

• disease burden
• Socio-economic wellbeing

• strategies
• policies
• guidelines
• financing

• human resources
• training
• commodities

• coverage
• behavior change

Information available (globally)

• Volumes of insecticides used for malaria vector
  control (WHOPES)

• Financial resources
• Drug policy
• Strategies

• ACT procurement (ATM-LUM,WHO)
• Net/ITN/insecticide procurement (UNICEF/WHO)

• Insecticides used for malaria vector control
  (WHOPES)
• Drug and insecticide resistance/efficacy
• Nets/ITNs sold or distributed
• Nets (re-) treated
• Antimalarial drugs distributed/used

• U5 fever treatment with antimalarials
• HH ITN possession
• ITN use
• PW use of IPT/chemoprophyl-axis

• Report malaria morbidity mortality (WHO HQ RO
  standard case definitions)
• All-cause U5 mortality
• Anemia (?)

IV. Components of Standardized Report

• Output of an improved process for sustainability
  and continuity
• Accessible and dynamically linked to centralized
  Global Malaria Database
• Ad hoc report generation to reflect the most
  recent data (ex. HIV and Global Malaria Database)
• Reflect program progress
• Not duplicate what WHO regions are doing
