Re-ignite volunteerism
Build a new cadre of committed women and men for health, social and community work, with special emphasis on youth involvement.
Our operating idea
Malaria programmes work better when communities help shape how they are delivered.
GCNM’s role is to organise the civil-society contribution around real implementation needs: trusted communication, community mobilisation, service-quality feedback, monitoring, advocacy and local follow-up.
The legacy website described four enabling ambitions: re-ignite volunteerism, mobilise human resources, advocate for reform and collaborate with key stakeholders. Those ambitions continue to inform the coalition’s work today.
What we seek to provide
Four foundations for effective community action.
Preserved from GCNM’s legacy initiatives page and reframed as clear action pathways.
Mobilise human resources
Connect knowledge, skills, experience and expertise that strengthen organisations and community-level delivery.
Collaborate
Work with key stakeholders for community development and stronger malaria programme implementation.
Build synergy & advocate
Strengthen collaboration with communities, public institutions, private actors and development partners while advancing rights and inclusion.
Programme areas
Where coalition capacity becomes practical malaria action.
These areas combine GCNM’s legacy programme priorities with current community-systems and elimination needs.
Community Malaria Awareness Programme
Use member reach and social and behaviour change communication to strengthen malaria knowledge, prevention and uptake of services in communities.
Explore SBC →Community-Led Monitoring
Identify service quality, commodity, access and rights-related barriers, validate community experience and track follow-up actions with decision-makers.
Explore CLM →Increase IPTp uptake among pregnant women
Leverage members and community-based actors to mobilise, monitor and support malaria prevention among pregnant women.
Explore maternal malaria prevention →Partnership building
Strengthen collaboration with donors, the private sector, NMEP and other health-sector partners to sustain and scale community outreach.

From activity to accountability
Listen. Verify. Escalate. Follow up. Learn.
GCNM’s current direction links community outreach with evidence and accountability. The goal is not only to conduct activities but to identify barriers, document what communities experience and help ensure agreed actions are followed through.

GCNM’s programme approach is built around a people-centered malaria response in which communities participate actively in prevention, surveillance, accountability and service delivery. The coalition seeks to support Ghana’s malaria elimination agenda through integrated community engagement, digital reporting systems, social and behaviour change interventions and equity-focused outreach.
Our proposed strategic priorities for the Global Fund GC8 grant-writing process are designed to strengthen implementation at community, district and national levels while supporting vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, children and hard-to-reach communities.
