Burkina Faso is a member state of the African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA). We support Burkina Faso in the implementation of the country’s scorecard tools, Malaria Youth Corps and upcoming End Malaria Council.

Scorecard tools

Scorecard management tools are country-owned tools that provide a snapshot of the country’s national and subnational health performance. The colour-coded scorecard tool helps track performance of priority indicators, identify bottlenecks or gaps, increase accountability, and enhance decision making to drive action.

We support Burkina Faso with 4 scorecard tools:

• malaria scorecard tool
• reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) scorecard tool
• neglected tropical diseases scorecard tool
• nutrition scorecard tool

Malaria scorecard tool

Burkina Faso’s malaria scorecard tool was developed in 2017 by the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene. The scorecard tool is led by the National Malaria Control Programme. We have helped the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene link the country’s malaria scorecard tool to their national health information system (DHIS2) and have been supporting the programme with strengthening the decentralised use of data through the scorecard tool at the regional level.

RMNCAH scorecard tool

Burkina Faso’s RMNCAH scorecard tool was developed in 2015 by the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene, with support from ALMA and other partners. Since the introduction of the scorecard tool, we have been supporting the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene in strengthening their RMNCAH scorecard tool.

Neglected tropical diseases scorecard tool

Burkina Faso’s neglected tropical diseases scorecard tool was developed in 2022 by the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene, with support from ALMA.

The Burkina Faso Malaria Youth Corps launched in May 2024.

National malaria youth corps are involved in a range of areas to improve action and accountability in the fight against malaria and to improve access to universal health coverage.

End Malaria Council

The Honourable Minister of Health issued an announcement of a plan to establish a national End Malaria Fund on World Malaria Day 2021. This fund will be led by an independent, multisectoral board of directors.

National End Malaria Councils are public-private partnerships established to help accelerate progress against malaria. The council is a country-led and owned initiative that brings together senior-level, multi-sectoral stakeholders. It is focused on driving action and accountability, resource mobilisation and advocacy in the fight against malaria.
