Zambia
The Republic of Zambia is a member state of the African Leaders Malaria Alliance. We support Zambia in the implementation of the country’s scorecard tools, End Malaria Council and Malaria Youth Corps.
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 Zambia with 4 scorecard tools:
- malaria scorecard tool
- reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) scorecard tool
- neglected tropical diseases scorecard tool
- community scorecard tool
Malaria scorecard tool
Zambia’s malaria scorecard tool was developed in 2016 by the National Malaria Elimination Programme, with support from ALMA and other partners. Since the introduction of the scorecard tool, we have been supporting the Ministry of Health in strengthening their malaria scorecard tool.
Zambia was the first country to use the Scorecard Web Platform’s Workplan Manager feature. The Workplan Manager helps Zambia monitor the annual workplans of the National Malaria Elimination Centre.

Zambia’s RMNCAH scorecard tool was developed in 2014 by the Ministry of Health, with support from ALMA and other partners. Since the introduction of the scorecard tool, we have been supporting the Ministry of Health in strengthening their RMNCAH scorecard tool.

Neglected tropical diseases scorecard tool
Zambia’s neglected tropical diseases scorecard was developed in 2019 by the Ministry of Health, with support from ALMA and other partners (including Sightsavers, University of Lusaka, the World Health Organization, Zambia Ministry of Education and Zambia Public Health Institute).
Community scorecard tool
Zambia’s community scorecard tool was developed by the Ministry of Health, with support from ALMA and other partners.
Community scorecard tools are participatory tools used to collect feedback from community members to assess the quality of care, increase accountability, inform actions to improve local health services and enhance community ownership and engagement.
End Malaria Council
The Zambia End Malaria Council launched in March 2019. We continue to support Zambia with the ongoing operations of the End Malaria Fund.
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.

Malaria Youth Corps
The Zambia Malaria Youth Corps launched in August 2022.
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.
