The goal is to either create a successful program that is sustainable OR, better yet, create a system that can be self-sufficient and increase the independence of the countries and the people.

Ongoing health communication about proper hanging and use of bednets.

The Leave Behind

We plan to leave Malaria Control efforts as soon as possible. Why? Because they are done, or at least routinized.

What we plan to leave behind is a system that does several things. This is our "Leave Behind."

1. A system that identifies the inputs yielding the highest impact.

2. A system that identifies the highest impact per dollar invested.

3. A system that has multiple partners who work well together.

4. A system that has multiple matching partners, so that the money each invests is matched several times.

5. A system that identifies the systemic inputs that drive prices of inputs down, commoditizes the inputs and keeps the prices down, yet still profitable for manufacturers to make and to innovate.

Thinking systemically, the processes of ordering goods must maintain the viability - profitability - of manufacturers, while lowering prices as far as possible. Without profitability, businesses fail. When key businesses fail vital goods are no longer manufactured. Still, cost savings are available through various methods, including larger scale purchases, lower risk contracts and systemic help reducing regulation and smoothing delivery and other processes, that is, help complementing economies of scale.

6. A system that readily elicits and channels donations in kind, free or at-cost delivery and other efforts to help, which are quasi-charitable contributions.

7. A reliable system in each of many countries that channels donations large and small from donors directly to the purchase of goods and delivery of services.

8. A reliable system of public awareness in each of many countries. Ideally the promotional system can 'put out the word' and have donations flow into the system that are more than adequate to move forward on the cause.

9. A system that identifies the systemic help that will further the causes of health, education and prosperity of the population served on an ongoing basis.

10. A network of friends and organizations in common cause that know how much they can accomplish quickly, easily and cooperatively.
