Categories are in rough order of priority, as are topics within categories
4
5
Room for more funding
= topics we plan to investigate this year
6
Money on hand?
= topics we might investigate if we have time
7
Other potential funders?
8
Status of planned future distributions
9
Talk to AMF's funding and distribution partners about their views on AMF and expectations about future deals
10
11
12
Monitoring & Evaluation
13
More detailed understanding of distribution process (for IMA and Concern Universal)
14
Coverage: How did Community Health Workers know they had visited all the houses? How did Field Supervisors assess this? What happens if a family isn't home?
15
Auditing: Who are the auditors? How do they select houses for audit? What have they found?
16
More detailed understanding of Post-Distribution Check-Up (PDCU) process (for IMA and Concern Universal)
17
Frequency: What is the benefit to PDCUs every 6 months v. a different frequency?
18
Sampling: How are houses identified during PDCUs? What happens if family refuses? Isn't home?
19
Measurement: How is net quality assessed? How is a net determined to be present, hung?
20
Data quality: Where does data entry take place? How is entered data validated?
21
Kasai 2014 distribution
22
Follow up on Kasai 2014 6-month and 12-month PDCUs
23
Look into registration data
24
Malawi distribution follow-ups (Dezda, Bakala, Flood-affected districts)
25
Case rate data from clinics
26
Understand how pre-distribution spot checks are conducted
27
28
29
Intervention report
30
Updates on Insecticide Resistance
31
Search for new studies
32
AMF's Nord Ubangi study?
33
Update our decay model
34
Data from recent AMF dists might mean nets are decaying faster than we model
35
PMI mentioned that they're doing research on this
36
37
38
Cost-effectiveness
39
Update AMF's cost/net
40
Get updated data on non-net costs for recent distributions
41
Better understand the data we have from IMA (and maybe Concern Universal), figure out what costs are missing, and get answers to questions we have
42
Update model with "% covered" data from the latest PDCUs
43
Update the Insecticide Resistance (IR) factor
44
Update the bednet mortality effect
45
46
47
Organization
48
Update on the process AMF uses to select countries to talk to
49
Understand what happened with previous distributions that AMF had considered funding but didn't fund
50
Status of ongoing distributions
51
Other AMF activities
52
Status of the IR study, Malawian Malaria Unit
53
AMF's thinking about capacity
54
Any capacity constraints? At what point (by dist/year or $/year) would you start building out a staff?
55
56
57
Global
58
Size of 2016 net gap, and updated projections of 2017-19 net gaps
59
How does M&E for non-AMF distributions compare to AMF's monitoring?
60
How big of a funder is AMF, proportional to all bednet funding?
61
How big is AMF proportionally in the countries it operates? Proportion globally?
62
What is AMF's growth trajectory? (i.e. size we'll expect AMF to be in 2017 and beyond)
63
64
65
66
Topics this plan doesn't focus on:
67
Why is there still a net gap? Why hasn't the Global Fund filled it?
68
Why are bednets the popular vector control method? Pros/cons compared to other vector control methods? (e.g. spraying)
69
Deeply understanding how the negotiation process works and why negotiations frequently fall through
70
Better understanding AMF's reputation within the malaria control community
71
Refinements to our cost-effectiveness model logic / alternative methods of modelling AMF's cost-effectiveness
72
Deeply understanding AMF's finances
73
Investigating impacts of unintended bed net uses (e.g. bed nets used for fishing)
74
Deeply understanding other potential offsetting negative impacts (e.g. free distributions causing market distortion, or distributions diverting skilled labor)
