DACF Secretariat to deduct 0.5 malaria fund at source 18th Dec 2020 | Source: GNA
The People for Health project, has called on the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) Secretariat to deduct the 0.5 percent of the malaria fund at source to ensure its efficient use.
It said the current system, where the funds were transferred as part of the assemblies’ resources did not encourage the assemblies to comply with the directives of setting aside the 0.5 per cent for malaria programmes.
It urged the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to open separate bank accounts for the fund while the National Malaria Control Programme provided guidelines for the utilization of the fund.
