The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Cameroon (CHAI Cameroon) is a Not-For-Profit Organization that began working in Cameroon in 2007 and is supporting the Government of Cameroon at both National and Sub-National levels to effectively and efficiently develop scalable solutions to deliver lifesaving health services across Cameroon.
Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) remain major public health challenges in Cameroon. Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, accounting for over 3 million confirmed cases annually and contributing to 17.2% of deaths in health facilities (HF) (2021). The Plasmodium falciparum parasite, transmitted by Anopheles gambiae, is the predominant species. Despite efforts, in (2022) malaria prevalence among children under five remains high at 26%.
The Government of Cameroon, through the Ministry of Public Health, has prioritized the fight against malaria and NTDs in its Health Sector Strategy (2016–2027). The program is supported by partners such as the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), WHO, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative, with a focus on disease surveillance, prevention, treatment, and community engagement.
The Clinton Health Access Initiative’s (CHAI) Surveillance and Data Use Program in Cameroon focuses on strengthening the quality, availability, and use of malaria program data to improve decision-making and program effectiveness. The objectives of these programs are as follows :
Improve Data Quality

Enhance Data Use for Decision-Making

Strengthen Surveillance Systems
Support the integration and functionality of malaria surveillance within the national health information system.
Improve case detection, reporting, and response mechanisms.
Capacity Building
Train health workers and data managers in data collection, analysis, visualization, and interpretation.
Foster a culture of data-driven decision-making across the malaria control program.
Support Digital Tools and Innovation
Deploy and optimize digital platforms and dashboards for real-time data access and visualization.
