Summative evaluation of the WHO Rapid Access Expansion (RAcE) Initiative
In 2012 the government of Canada provided a grant to the WHO Global Malaria Programme (GMP) to support the scale-up of the diagnosis and treatment of children with pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria by Community Health Workers, an approach known as integrated community case management (iCCM). The six-year programme, labeled the Rapid Access Expansion (RAcE) initiative, distinguished itself from other internationally funded iCCM programmes by aiming to achieve universal health coverage for all children in hard-to-reach areas within selected geographic boundaries.
