The Malaria Prevention Campaign, launched in Oromia Region of Ethiopia by C-Change, recognizes communities for taking specific actions to combat malaria. The focus of the campaign is around small, doable actions that families carry out to protect themselves against malaria. The community volunteers under direction from the Community Mobilization Committee (CMC) energize and support their communities, families, and schools to take the actions necessary to prevent malaria. Materials and tools developed by C-Change for the campaign are available below.

C-Change works with Kenya's government agencies and local and international NGOs to strengthen and improve social and behavior change communication (SBCC) for family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH), malaria prevention and control, and HIV prevention (specifically, a medical male circumcision intervention). The partnerships C-Change is building are helping Kenyans to promote healthy spacing of births; prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT); and encourage pregnant women to use mosquito nets, seek prenatal care, and follow-up with postnatal care after giving birth.
