Collaboration implies an effective, productive dialogue. Through a participatory approach which focuses on current projects, the workshop agenda emphasizes comprehensive technical information and recommendations for malaria prevention and treatment programs for children and pregnant women; standards for implementation on malaria recognition, treatments, behavior change communication, and environmental approaches; and exhibits of simple yet effective approaches to malaria control which includes recommendations on specific products and usage. All "state of the art" technical updates from a variety of technical experts, as well as field trips, are designed as an introduction to practical work sessions where you can discuss the reality of your operations and analyze your approach strengths, challenges, and opportunities.

To further collaboration, the CORE Group anticipates the creation of a networking system to support the facilitation of exchange beyond the Fresh Air workshop.
On behalf of The CORE Group, I wish you the best of success and a productive workshop.

Circe Trevant (Africare), Chair, The CORE Group's Malaria Working Group
