Abstract
Objective: This thesis investigates the contributions of the Global Fund in controlling malaria in Vietnam since 2014, focusing on its multifaceted approaches, strategies, and interventions in malaria prevention, detection, and treatment, as well as overall health system strengthening.
Subject and Methods: The research employs a case study design combined with a desk review of project documents, financial reports, impact assessments, and academic literature. Qualitative methodologies, including key informant interviews and thematic analysis, are used to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the Global Fund's interventions.
Key Findings: The study finds that the Global Fund's contributions have significantly enhanced malaria control in Vietnam through increased funding, technical support, and infrastructural improvements. Notable successes include improved diagnostic capabilities, the introduction of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), and increased community awareness and engagement. However, challenges such as logistical issues, funding constraints, and the emergence of drug-resistant malaria strains were identified. The research highlights the critical role of international collaboration, government commitment, and community involvement in sustaining malaria control efforts and provides insights into effective public health interventions.
