China-UK-Tanzania Pilot Project on Malaria Control: Conclusion

The successful implementation and sustainable development of the Pilot Project rely on the capacity building approach known as "Learning by Doing" through the "paired" method. This approach has effectively facilitated mutual learning between personnel from China and Tanzania, enabling them to collaboratively address local challenges. Additionally, it equips the project team with the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources to deliver the project and ensure its long-term sustainability.

 

Building upon the achievements of the Pilot Project, a follow-up initiative called the China-Tanzania Demonstration Project on Malaria Control, funded by the BMGF, was carried out from 2019 to 2023. The aim is to replicate the success and extend the work beyond the Pilot Project. This inclusive approach of "Learning by Doing" through "paired" collaboration has the potential to serve as a model for future South-South health development cooperation projects.
