"The 2006-07 Angola Malaria Indicator Survey (AMIS 2006-07) was implemented by Consultoria de Servic̜os e Pesquisas--COSEP, Consultoria, Lda. and Consultoria de Gestão e Administrac̜ão em Saúde--Consaúde, Lda. from November 2006 to April 2007. All activities were coordinated closely with the Angola Ministry of Health and the National Malaria Control Program. Funding for the AMIS 2006-07 was provided by USAID/Angola, the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) and the UNDP-managed Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). Macro International Inc. provided technical assistance through the MEASURE DHS project of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). MEASURE DHS provides support for the implementation of population and health surveys in countries worldwide." - T.p. verso.

"The 2006-07 Angola Malaria Indicator Survey (AMIS) was conducted under the auspices of the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) within the Ministry of Health (MOH). It was implemented by two private organizations, the Consultoria de Servic̜os e Pesquisas-COSEP, Consultoria, Lda. and the Consultoria de Gestão e Administrac̜ão em Saúde-Consaúde, Lda. This is the first survey of its kind in Angola, and the realization of a standardized household survey constitutes an important landmark in the reinclusion of the country into the international community. COSEP, Lda. and Consaúde, Lda. would like to acknowledge the organizations and individuals who contributed greatly to the successful completion of the 2006-07 AMIS. First of all, our thanks go to the Government of Angola for its commitment to mounting the country's first malaria survey; to the Angola Instituto Nacional de Estadística, for its support of the survey even though it was embarked on important national surveys at the time; to the MOH and NMCP for their contributions towards highlighting survey needs and also for graciously donating Coartem® medicine to treat affected individuals; and to the National Laboratory, for its involvement in the training and microscopic analysis of blood samples. The agencies are particularly grateful to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) for financial and technical support for the survey, to the Malaria Branch of the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) for inputs to the survey design, and to Macro International for substantial technical assistance offered throughout the survey. Thanks also are due to the United Nations Development Programme and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) for supplementary funding and support at critical times." - P. vii.
