National civil society coalition for community-led malaria action
Civil society action for malaria elimination

Building synergy with malaria-endemic communities to upscale community outreach and achieve a malaria-free country.

GCNM supports Ghana’s malaria elimination agenda through community engagement, digital reporting, social and behaviour change, equity-focused outreach, community-led monitoring and strengthened local implementation structures.

IN THE FIELD

Community action is where strategy becomes service uptake.

GCNM connects local organisations, volunteers, health services and decision-makers so community evidence can improve malaria prevention, access, accountability and follow-up.

GC8 strategic framework

Seven proposed priorities for stronger community contribution to malaria elimination.

Presented for engagement with NMEP, the framework connects civil society action to prevention, service access, accountability, data use and stronger local implementation systems.

Cross-cutting priorities

Malaria elimination must be equitable today and resilient to tomorrow’s risks.

GCNM is integrating human rights, gender, health equity and climate resilience across community systems, monitoring, outreach and malaria programme accountability.

Community-Led Monitoring connects both themes.

Equity markers help identify who is being missed; climate and service-continuity markers help identify when changing conditions may create new barriers. Both can be verified, escalated and tracked through the same accountability loop.

Why the coalition matters

Local organisations see the last-mile problems first.

GCNM creates a structured route for those observations to become coordinated action. Members mobilise communities, collect and validate evidence, raise service-delivery barriers, support follow-up and contribute to stronger malaria programming.
