ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The development of Malaria Indicator Survey: Basic Documentation for Survey Design and Implementation would not have been possible without the assistance of numerous individuals, institutions, organizations, and countries. We would especially like to thank the following for their technical contributions: MEASURE DHS, MEASURE Evaluation, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experience gained from the Demographic and Health Surveys and UNICEF’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys has been instrumental in the design, testing, and documentation of the various components of the Malaria Indicator Survey package. We are especially grateful to various participants of the Roll Back Malaria Monitoring and Evaluation Reference Group’s Household Survey Task Force for their guidance and regular feedback and to the U.S. Agency for International Development for funding the project.
