The Mortality Taskforce is publishing documents, including an academic paper and guidance note, on 'Options for Evaluating the Impact of Malaria Control Efforts on Mortality in Africa'. They also provide advocacy, coordination and guidance on obtaining input estimates for the Spectrum-based mortality modeling software, addressing better estimates of malaria-specific mortality, comortality, and the linearity assumption between malaria mortality and its determinants (e.g. intervention coverage).
