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）通过增加参与当地卫生和环境政策的制定和实施，促进Rusinga社区的能力。我们将建立一个互动伙伴关系，将这个孤立的社区与相关的国家和国际合作伙伴联系起来。培训，教育，地方政策发展和技术转移计划将通过一个新颖的机构框架实施，该机构将本地决策和行动与国家和国际医疗保健社区中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，然后将这些影响与当前的国家和国际进行比较和对比 规范。 2）通过针对蚊子的幼虫阶段来证明社区实施疟疾控制的有效性。我们将利用AIM 1活动导致的当地决策和实施能力的提高，以通过提高社区意识和积极的蚊子消除来启动和评估一种新型的预防疟疾预防计划。我们还将收集基线社会经济地位数据，以便我们可以评估控制计划的长期经济后果。 3）建立一个机构框架和强大的国家能力，以合并和复制当地卫生联盟和公共疟疾控制计划。我们将通过肯尼亚调查人员的职业发展以及技术的转移，在本地和全国范围内增强机构能力， 国际合作者的技能和责任。结果将用作通过SUBA Health Coalition在整个地区更广泛地整合和扩展这些方法的基础。结果还将传播到地方，国家和国际政策制定者，以便可以将这种方法扩展到肯尼亚和非洲其他地方的其他社区。
