From malaria control to malaria elimination: a manual for elimination scenario planning

From malaria control to malaria elimination: a manual for elimination scenario planning

Since 2000, there has been a 42% reduction in malaria mortality rates globally, and a 49% decline in the WHO African Region. This progress has led many malaria-endemic countries, even those with historically high burdens of malaria, to explore the possibility of accelerating towards elimination.

The elimination scenario planning (ESP) manual provides malaria-endemic countries with a comprehensive framework to assess different scenarios for moving towards this goal, depending on programme coverage and funding availability. It also helps countries set realistic timelines and provides essential knowledge for strategic planning in the long term.

The manual was produced in collaboration with colleagues from the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Imperial College London, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Southampton and the Global Health Group at the University of California, San Francisco.
