WHO WE ARE
Community Network Against Malaria Epidemic in Tanzania (CONAMET) is a network of non-state actors (NSAs) working towards preventing, controlling, and reducing the malaria-related high death rate. It is a non-profit making network that brings together different community actors, civil society organizations (CSOs), community groups, networks and individuals from malaria-affected communities to jointly mobilize efforts to improve health of Tanzanians.
Vision Statement
A well-coordinated strong malaria network contributing to malaria-free Tanzania
Mission Statement
To reduce the burden of malaria in Tanzania by promoting the use of evidence-based interventions, strengthening community health systems, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders.
CONAMET was founded at the end of 2022, and duly registered on 22nd May 2023 under the Non-Governmental Organizations Act, 2002 with Registration No. ooNGO/R/4729 as the umbrella network of malaria-focused organizations in Tanzania. It was prompted by the realization of the missing active role of NSAs in the fight against malaria that requires concerted efforts.
