1) To facilitate empowerment of the Rusinga community through increased participation in local health and environment policy formulation and implementation. We will establish an interactive partnership linking this isolated community to relevant national and international partners. A programme of training, education, local policy development and technology transfer will be implemented through a novel institutional framework that connects local decision making and action to the most relevant and up-to-date information and skills in the national and international healthcare community. We will evaluate the effect of this program on local attitudes, priorities and policies and then compare and contrast these with current national and international norms. 2) To demonstrate the effectiveness of community-implemented malaria control by targeting larval stages of mosquitoes. We will harness the improved local decision-making and implementation capacity resulting from aim 1 activities to initiate and evaluate a novel malaria prevention programme through increased community awareness and active mosquito abatement. We will also collect baseline socioeconomic status data so that we can evaluate the longer term economic consequences of the control program. 3) To develop an institutional framework and strong national capacity for the consolidation and replication of local health coalitions and communal malaria control initiatives. We will augment institutional capacity both locally and nationally through career development of Kenyan investigators and the transfer of technology, skills and responsibility from the international collaborators. The results will be used as a basis for subsequent consolidation and expansion of these approaches more broadly across the District through the Suba Health Coalition. The results will also be disseminated to local, national and international policy makers so that this approach can be extended and expanded to other communities in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa.

1)通过更多地参与地方卫生和环境政策的制定和执行，促进增强鲁辛加社区的能力。我们将建立一种互动的伙伴关系，将这个孤立的社区与有关的国家和国际伙伴联系起来。将通过一个新的体制框架实施培训、教育、地方政策制定和技术转让方案，该框架将地方决策和行动与国家和国际卫生保健界最相关和最新的信息和技能联系起来。我们将评估该计划对当地态度，优先事项和政策的影响，然后将其与当前的国家和国际政策进行比较和对比。 规范高效2)以蚊子幼虫阶段为目标，证明社区实施疟疾控制的有效性。我们将利用目标1活动提高的地方决策和执行能力，通过提高社区认识和积极减少蚊虫，启动和评估一项新的疟疾预防方案。我们还将收集基线社会经济状况数据，以便我们能够评估控制计划的长期经济后果。3)发展体制框架和强大的国家能力，以巩固和推广地方保健联盟和社区疟疾防治倡议。我们将通过肯尼亚调查人员的职业发展和技术转让，加强地方和国家的机构能力， 国际合作者的技能和责任。调查结果将作为基础，随后通过苏巴卫生联盟在整个地区更广泛地巩固和推广这些方法。研究结果还将传播给地方、国家和国际决策者，以便将这种方法推广到肯尼亚和非洲其他地方的其他社区。
