The document summarizes a project in Tanzania that used vital registration and verbal autopsy methods to collect cause-specific mortality data from 1993 to 2004. This information helped put malaria on the map by informing national and local health policies and programs. It led to changes like updating the first-line malaria treatment and increasing district budgets for malaria control. The project fostered collaboration between different stakeholders and strengthened local data collection and use of mortality data for decision-making.
