Strengthening country ownership of national antimalarial policymaking: insights from Laos, Pakistan and the Solomon Islands
This study indicates that there is potential to strengthen country ownership of national antimalarial policymaking. This may require application of targeted policy acceleration levers such as better alignment of timing of global guidance with country needs and an understanding between external donors and national stakeholders that WHO guidance is advisory only and should be understood as one perspective relative to country needs.
