Malaria
Code and guidance that help country teams prepare data and decide which malaria interventions to use in each district.
Subnational tailoring of malaria interventions
Subnational tailoring of malaria interventions
Overview
Subnational tailoring (SNT) is the process national malaria programmes use to decide which mix of interventions to deliver in each district. Every SNT analysis repeats the same data preparation work. When each analyst writes this from scratch, results are hard to compare between countries and hard for national teams to rerun.
My contribution
I joined AHADI as a technical advisor in February 2025 and became Lead, Epidemiology & Data Science in October 2025. I led the analytical work across seven countries: Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Rwanda and Togo. I designed and co-led the SNT Code Library with Jaline Gerardin. I wrote and maintain sntutils. Much of the work involved writing and reviewing code with ministry of health teams and Global Fund focal points, and training teams to run the analyses themselves.
Selected outputs
The SNT Code Library gives country teams code and guidance for each stage of an SNT analysis, in English and French. The sntutils R package holds the reusable functions the library depends on.
