In the Tanzania SARA Final Report (July 2013) I found the footnote below for readiness to provide malaria services. The footnote indicates the index is a mean percentage which can be calculated directly from the survey. Therefore, I have gone through the Malawi SPA Questionnaire and found what I think are the corresponding variables and created the index as outlined below for Tanzania, cross-referencing it to the footnote for Malawi. My index of 'Readiness to provide Malaria Services' in Malawi is similar to what is reported in the Full Malawi SPA report, but not exact. If there is documentation/a publication that outlines the specific variables please let me know. I think the specific discrepancy between my index and what the DHS reports is related to how I am calculating evidence of microscope/glass/stains.

Thanks.

The mean percentage of malaria items available in all domains (staff trained in diagnosis and treatment of malaria +
guidelines diagnosis and treatment of malaria + staff trained in IPT + guidelines IPT + malaria diagnostic capacity + first-line
antimalarial in-stock + paracetamol + IPT drug + ITN) / 9
