    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) issues a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Strengthening Malaria Control for High-Risk Communities Activity, aimed at expanding malaria control efforts in high-burden areas, primarily in Burma and Thailand. The initiative, with a budget of up to $15 million over five years, intends to engage various organizations to enhance local health systems, promote effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment services, and increase community participation. The program is essential due to a significant resurgence of malaria, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and a military coup in Burma, which has led to a 200% increase in cases from 2019-2023. Eligible applicants, including non-profits and community organizations, can submit proposals addressing the outlined objectives through a two-phase application process. The complexity of the program necessitates collaborative engagement and the use of local resources, aiming for sustainable malaria management. The successful applicant will also incorporate strategies to address gender disparities in healthcare access and execution, ensuring that services meet the needs of vulnerable populations. Overall, this initiative represents a strategic effort to combat rising malaria incidence and improve health service delivery in a context fraught with political and social challenges.
