The problem
A lack of visibility into the antimalarial product market hinders investment and policy decisions to support their scale up.
Our response
ACTwatch was a multi-country research project designed to provide timely, relevant, and high-quality evidence about the market for antimalarial products to inform malaria policy, strategy and funding decisions. Through a range of research tools, ACTwatch gathered critical information on the availability, price and market share of antimalarials and rapid diagnostic tests in the private and public sectors. The data gathered were instrumental in supporting country decision making and strategies in eight sub-Saharan African countries and five Southeast Asian countries, as well as informing global strategies.
