PMI Impact Malaria

What PMI Impact Malaria does

PMI Impact Malaria was a global health service delivery project established in April 2018 as the flagship global service delivery project of the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), funded by USAID and implemented by Population Services International (PSI) in partnership with Jhpiego, MCD Global Health, and the Malaria Elimination Institute at UCSF. The project supported 19 National Malaria Control Programs and Ministries of Health across sub-Saharan Africa and the Greater Mekong Subregion, focused on strengthening malaria diagnosis, treatment, and drug-based prevention for children under five and pregnant women.

Its core methodology was OTSS+ (Outreach, Training and Supportive Supervision Plus), a facility-level quality improvement approach combining on-site supportive supervision, troubleshooting, and on-the-job training. Supporting digital tools included the OTSS+ Digital Data Entry Platform for real-time facility-level data capture, the PMI Impact Malaria Data Hub for cross-country monitoring and decision support, and digitized global packages of OTSS+ checklists. Beyond OTSS+, the project delivered complementary service delivery programs including Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) for community-based childhood illness care, Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) campaigns delivering antimalarial medicines to children in the Sahel, Malaria in Pregnancy (MIP) prevention through IPTp, and Therapeutic Efficacy Studies (TES) across 40 sites in 9 countries. The project produced 10 peer-reviewed manuscripts in an AJTMH Special Supplement.

The project operated on a grant-funded, non-commercial model with no products sold and no pricing structure. All funding flowed from USAID through PMI, and the project provided technical assistance and capacity building at no cost to partner governments and health facilities. Activities were delivered through partnership agreements with country-level governments and went-to-market through direct engagement with NMCPs (described as a sales-led/B2G field motion combined with an event-driven thought leadership motion at global health conferences such as ASTMH). The project officially closed on May 31, 2024, after over six years, with operational continuity transferred to the successor PMI REACH project.

Product overview

PMI Impact Malaria is a global health service delivery project, not a technology product company. The organization offers a unified portfolio of malaria control interventions rather than a modular software platform.

Supporting service delivery programs include iCCM (Integrated Community Case Management) for community-based childhood illness care, SMC (Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention) for seasonal prevention campaigns, and Malaria in Pregnancy services. Digital tools include the OTSS+ Digital Data Entry Platform, the PMI Impact Malaria Data Hub, and digitized OTSS+ checklists. The project also conducts Therapeutic Efficacy Studies and publishes research through Special Supplement collections. The project closed on May 31, 2024 after over six years of implementation.
