Abstract

Abstract:

To summarize the primary achievements and challenges of China-UK-Tanzania Pilot Project on Malaria Control (referred to as “Pilot Project” hereafter) and explore new modes of China-Africa public health cooperation. Information concerning main achievements, challenges, measures to overcome challenges, and suggestions on sustainable development of the Pilot Project was collected via questionnaires from relevant personnel in 11 institutions and/or organizations directly involved in the Pilot Project. Data were analyzed based on the frequencies of keywords. The results showed that the main achievements of the Pilot Project were “reducing malaria burden” and “sharing and transforming Chinese experience”, and on the other hand the main challenges were “unsmooth exchanging” and “insufficient support from governments”. This Pilot Project demonstrates the feasibility of Chinese malaria-control experience applying in Africa local, and indicates that strengthening the capacity building of Chinese personnel and the government support can promote the sustainability of international cooperation project in public health.
