Our mission is to provide sustainable leadership to CSOs nationwide in the coordination and promotion of Ministry of Health recommended interventions, as well as advocate for evidence-based practices and health policies at all levels.MACIS was formed in 2003 and its members include international and national NGOs, as well as community based organizations (CBOs) working on malaria and childhood illnesses.
