Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD)

Stopping the loss of millions of young lives from pneumonia and diarrhoea is a goal within our grasp. The integrated Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD) proposes a cohesive approach to ending preventable pneumonia and diarrhoea deaths. It brings together critical services and interventions to create healthy environments, promotes practices known to protect children from disease and ensures that every child has access to proven and appropriate preventive and treatment measures.

GAPPD Report

GAPPD Executive Summary

GAPPD Executive Summary - French

The Lancet Series on Childhood Pneumonia and Diarrhoea, led by Aga Khan University, Pakistan, provides evidence for integrated control efforts for childhood pneumonia and diarrhoea. These papers support the development of the recently released Global Action Plan for Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD).

The Lancet series papers are:

Global burden of childhood diarrhoea and pneumonia (Walker, Christa L Fischer, et al)

Interventions to address deaths from childhood diarrhoea and pneumonia equitably: what works and at what cost? (Bhutta, Zulfiqar A., et al)

Bottlenecks, barriers, and solutions: results from multi-country consultations focused on reduction of childhood diarrhoea and pneumonia deaths (Gill, Christopher J., et al)

Ending of preventable deaths from pneumonia and diarrhoea: an achievable goal (Chopra, Mickey, et al)

And the Comments/Response articles are:

Continuing the child survival revival (Horton, Richard, and Udani Samarasekera)

Integrated action for the prevention and control of pneumonia and diarrhoea (Chan, Margaret, and Anthony Lake)

Playing our part to save children's lives (Kikwete, Jakaya, Kevin Jenkins, and Jasmine Whitbread)
Diarrhea & Pneumonia Working Group

The Diarrhea & Pneumonia Working Group is a global coordinating body focused on accelerating access to zinc and ORS for child diarrhea and amoxicillin for pneumonia. The Working Group consists of over 20 development agencies, donors, NGOs and private sector partners committed to child health. Together, the members of the Working Group aim to achieve between 60 and 80% treatment coverage in 10 high burden countries—Bangladesh, DRC, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tanzania, and Uganda—which account for more than 60% of global deaths.

Community case management of malaria

The WHO Global Malaria Programme has been awarded a grant by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) to support the scale-up of integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) of childhood illnesses using malaria as an entry point. The project called RAcE 2015 will be implemented in the following five malaria-endemic countries in sub-Saharan Africa: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger and Nigeria.

Welcome to CHW Central, an online resource for information and dialogue about Community Health Workers (CHW). CHWs play an important role in increasing access to health services in poor and underserved communities around the world. CHW Central supports community health workers and strengthens CHW programs by connecting experts, practitioners, and supporters in interactive discussion forums and sharing the latest developments in CHW research, practice, and policy.

CORE Group's vision is a world of healthy communities, where no mother or child dies of preventable causes. We work towards this vision by bringing together our 50+ member organizations and network of partners to generate collaborative action and learning to improve and expand community-focused public health practices for underserved populations around the world. CORE Group makes a difference both as an independent not-for-profit organization and as the home of the Community Health Network.

Innovations at Scale for Community Access and Lasting Effects (inSCALE), is a Malaria Consortium project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It is currently being implemented in Mozambique and Uganda with the support of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and University College London's Centre for International Health and Development. The aim of the project is to increase coverage of integrated community case management (ICCM), which provides community based-care for diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria. This is achieved through training community based agents (CBAs) to diagnose and treat these three main childhood illnesses.

Please find more information at http://www.malariaconsortium.org/inscale/pages/about-inscale. If link is broken, please contact the Malaria Consortium.

Malaria Consortium recently launched a new series of publications focused on practical and theoretical learning gained through programme implementation and operational research. The three papers examine tailoring ICCM training depending on the context, improving approaches of engaging local communities in ICCM and developing innovative solutions for improving community health worker motivation and performance. You can read all the papers here http://www.malariaconsortium.org/pages/learning-papers.htm
The Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) Generic Toolkit
The LQAS Generic Toolkit was developed in collaboration with UNICEF to support the planning, carrying out and analysis of LQAS surveys. They focus on maternal and child health and include:
- Sampling frame calculator, detailed implementation plan and budget template to help plan your survey.
- Indicator lists and seven modular generic questionnaires for maternal and child health and community health workers that you can adapt for your survey
- Hand tabulation sheets for each of the questionnaires and a standard reporting format to help you analyse your survey
The tools are open for all to use or freely adapt. We would very much like to thank Dr Theresa Diaz, Nick Oliphant and the Knowledge Management and Implementation Research Unit in the Health Section at UNICEF New York. The sampling frame calculator was adapted from an original model by John Marsden and Tom Davis at Food for the Hungry.

SC4CCM is a learning project implemented by JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc., focused on finding affordable, simple, and sustainable supply chain solutions that address the unique challenges faced by community health workers. Our goal is to demonstrate that product availability can be significantly improved at the lowest levels of the supply chain, thereby contributing to improved child health in communities.

To achieve our goal, in Ethiopia, Malawi and Rwanda, we are testing innovations to generate knowledge that can be put into broader practice for supply chain operations, financing, and advocacy. We complement the work of government and supply chain technical assistance and implementation partners by sharing what we learn and serving as a catalyst to help these organizations take promising solutions to scale.
