A simultaneous deployment of multiple first line therapies (MFT) for uncomplicated malaria using artemisisin based combination therapies as showed by theoretical models, may extend the useful therapeutic life of the current Artemisinin-based combination thérapies (ACTs) by reducing drug pressure and slowing the spread of resistance without putting life at risk. We therefore hypothesized that a simultaneous deployment of three ACTs targeting three segments of the population is feasible, acceptable and can achieve high coverage rate if potential barriers are well identified, well addressed and the key implementers are well-trained and adequately supported. To test this hypothesis, a quasi-experimental study will be conducted.
The study will be conducted through four overlapping phases: formative research phase, the MFTs deployment phase, the evaluation phase and the post-evaluation phase.
Formative research phase
1.1 Objective
Generate baseline information and to develop intervention tools for the pilot implementation of MFTs for uncomplicated malaria in the study area.
1.2 Design
Cross-sectional surveys using desk reviews, qualitative and quantitative research methods:
1.3 Duration
Six months from obtaining the approval of the ethics committee for health research.
MFTs deployment phase
2.1 Objective
Implement the MFTs for uncomplicated malaria in the health district of Kaya that is feasible, acceptable and achieve high coverage rate.
2.2 Drugs deployment
Study ACTs and respective target populations:
NB: Community case management of malaria using Artemether-Lumefantrine as per National Malaria Control Program recommendation.
2.3 Duration
Twelve months including low and high malaria transmission seasons in the study area.
Monitoring and evaluation phase
3.1 Objectives
Assess the feasibility, the acceptability, the cost and the effects of the pilot MFTs pilot programme for uncomplicated malaria in the health district of Kaya.
3.2 Design
Cross-sectional surveys using desk review, qualitative and quantitative research methods:
3.3 Duration
Four months.
Post-evaluation phase
4.1 Objectives
Communicating and disseminating the findings of the pilot implementation of multiple first-lines artemisinin-based combination therapies for uncomplicated malaria in the health district of Kaya, Burkina Faso;
