Adaptation of lot quality assurance sampling to monitor seasonal malaria chemoprevention delivery performance

Abstract Malaria Consortium supports delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) to children ages 3–59 months using sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine. Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) was adapted as a cost-efficient method for end-of-cycle SMC monitoring surveys across supported...

Description
Summary:Abstract Malaria Consortium supports delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) to children ages 3–59 months using sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine. Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) was adapted as a cost-efficient method for end-of-cycle SMC monitoring surveys across supported countries and an implementation challenges reporting system was established in Nigeria. We present a case study of its application in Nasarawa State. LQAS facilitated timely local performance assessment across 16 indicators. Development of new reporting tools has played a key role in stimulating national-level discussions on improvements to SMC supervisory processes and implementer training and provided a framework for engagement with local stakeholders.
