Malaria Community Competency Package
This package offers a link to the AIDS Competence website and to the community competency model therein. An evaluation of the model performed by the Malaria Control and Evaluation Partnership (MACEPA), a program at PATH, is also included as guidance for malaria control implementers considering use of the model. The model builds self- reliance in disease control at the community level.
