Introduction

The M&E framework outlines the inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and impacts of a project, thus giving us the guidelines throughout the
project life cycle.
Project Background and baseline Survey
Binga is a vast, remote, inaccessible district in Northern Zimbabwe and has also proven to be a malaria hotspot. More malaria cases from Binga
are largely due to intermittent rains experienced in the district. Mosquitoes breed and mature faster in such weather conditions. After carrying
out a baseline survey it was discovered that Clinics and Hospitals in Binga recorded 90% of Matabeleland Souths Malaria cases during the 2013
rainy season. This translates to 4500 recorded cases of Malaria which resulted in 14 fatalities.

In mid-2011, Zimbabwes selection as a PMI country was announced. Malaria is a major health problem in Zimbabwe, although its
epidemiology varies in the different regions of the country, ranging from year round transmission in the lowland areas to epidemic-prone areas in
the highlands. Zimbabwes National Strategic Plan does not call for the implementation of all interventions in all malarious districts, hence the
targeted number of districts varies by intervention, as detailed above and below.

Aim
Reduce malaria prevalence rate by 50% in Binga through capacity building, awareness campaigns and preventive measures by June 2015

Objectives
1) To conduct daily malaria awareness campaigns through community radio station throughout the life of the project (June 2014-June15)
2) To conduct preventive measures by
fumigation of 1000 households and all identified mosquito breeding areas by June 2015
Distribution of 5000 treated mosquito nets by June 2015
Distribution of mosquito repellent creams and preventive medicines to 1000 households by June 2015
3) To provide training to 50 volunteers and 10 local nurses who will join and participate in the project at the beginning of the project June
2014
