Data Clerk at Malaria Consortium

Malaria Consortium (MC) established in 2003, is one of the world's leading non-profit organizations dedicated to the comprehensive control of malaria and other communicable diseases in Africa and Southeast Asia. MC works with communities, government and non-government agencies, academic institutions, and local and international organizations, to ensure good evidence supports delivery of effective services, providing technical support for monitoring and evaluation of programmes and activities for evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning. Since 2008, MC has been supporting Nigeria in her malaria control/eradication efforts through preventive and curative/case management strategies, while supporting implementation at the health facility and community levels.

Despite the remarkable improvements in the child survival rates, Nigeria still falls short of the Sustainable Development Goal target of no more than 25 deaths/1,000 live births. Safety and Antimicrobial Resistance of Mass Administration of Azithromycin in children (SARMAAN II) Project in Nigeria is a public health initiative focused on the mass administration of Azithromycin to 1 – 59 months children, a key intervention to reduce under-five mortality caused by three major childhood killer diseases: malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea.
