How do the pathways for policy and regulatory approvals intersect in different country contexts?

How long does each step of the policy-making process require on average?

Do the described decision-making pathways lead to good policy?

How do malaria policy pathways compare to pathways for other health programmes in the same countries? Are there opportunities to align malaria with national policy pathways for greater alignment with local and global good practices?
