Kadiatou Koita’s presentation focuses on community interventions to increase the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP). As part of her thesis, she conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effectiveness of community-based strategies on the uptake of IPTp-SP. Her thesis also covers the assessment of health systems’ effectiveness of IPTp-SP delivery in the context of an implementation trial of IPTp-SP delivery through the seasonal malaria chemoprevention channel in Mali and Burkina Faso, as well as the acceptability of that delivery strategy among providers, users and community members.
