Aim: To understand which health-systems factors may act as barriers to the effectiveness of ACT in reducing malaria transmission. Objectives: 1) To extend a model of the impact of ACT on malaria transmission to incorporate health systems dimensions 2) To collate relevant data on health-systems to apply the model to a specific setting in Tanzania 3) To identify which health-systems constraints on ACT delivery have the greatest impact on malaria transmission and treatment demand, in order to inform estimation of the marginal costs of overcoming such bottlenecks. Methodology: 1) Review of past scale-up programmes to identify which health-systems inputs are critical to effective delivery of interventions and the consequences of system constraints. 2) Extension of a model of the impact of ACT on malaria transmission to explore the extent to which health-systems variables could reduce operational effectiveness, focusing on 4 aspects: heterogeneity in access and response to treatment, diagnostic capacity, treatment capacity and human resources. 3) Collation of relevant data from collaborating institutions in Tanzania as a case-study and incorporation of these data into a combined model to identify the relative importance of these health-systems variables in limiting ACT impact.
