Medicine to prevent malaria
Malaria Consortium (malariaconsortium.org) works to save lives and improve health in Africa and Asia through evidence-based programs that combat targeted diseases and promote universal health coverage.1 This review focuses on its seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) program, which distributes antimalarial drugs to children 3 to 59 months old in order to prevent illness and death from malaria, typically in four or five monthly cycles during the high transmission season; our recommendation is just for this part of Malaria Consortium's work.

Cash incentives for routine childhood vaccines
New Incentives runs a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program in North West Nigeria. Caregivers who bring their infants to clinics for routine vaccines, which are provided through government clinics free of charge, can receive a total of $11 over the course of five clinic visits. New Incentives also does outreach to caregivers about the importance of vaccinating children, and works with its government partners to improve vaccine supply by identifying and addressing bottlenecks in the vaccine supply chain.
