JOB DESCRIPTION

The Stockholm Evaluation Unit (SEU), based in Sweden, is one of three MSF units tasked to manage and guide evaluations of MSF’s operational projects, and works primarily with Operational Centre Brussels (OCB). For more information see our website evaluation.msf.org.

Background:

The Cibitoke malaria project is a three-year project implemented in partnership with the Burundi Ministry of Health through the Cibitoke and Ndava Health Districts. The project was established in a context where malaria remains one of the country's most significant public health challenges and aims to contribute to reducing malaria-related morbidity and mortality in the district.

The project combines a comprehensive package of preventive and curative interventions, implemented in close collaboration with Ministry of Health staff at community, primary and secondary levels, and with a strong emphasis on coaching, accompaniment and capacity strengthening. Curative activities include community case management (ICCM), support to 20 health centres, and free treatment of severe malaria for children under 15 at Cibitoke District Hospital. Preventive activities include malaria vaccination, perennial malaria chemoprophylaxis, distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets, and health promotion. The project was designed not only to implement this package of interventions but also to generate evidence on its implementation and results through an embedded operational research component, alongside advocacy and emergency preparedness components.

Purpose

The purpose of this capitalisation is to facilitate reflection and document the experience gained through the design and implementation of the Cibitoke malaria project. As the project approaches its closure at the end of 2026, the capitalisation will create a space for stakeholders to reflect on the project, share their experiences and perspectives, and document knowledge that they consider important for the future.
