National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP) of Liberia: 2021 – 2025

In line with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Technical Strategy (GTS) 2016-2030, this new Malaria National Strategic Plan (NSP) 2021-2025 incorporates all key recommendations and actions from the 2018 MTR as well as from other reports and studies intended to accelerate malaria control in Liberia, to set the stage for a long-term progress towards pre-elimination and eventual malaria elimination. This new malaria NSP redefines the strategic direction and focus of the malaria program, including strengthening of structures, health systems, and capacities to achieve greater equity, coverage, quality, and more effective delivery of the interventions for achievement of the overall goal of substantial reduction of malaria burden in Liberia.

Thanks and appreciation are sent to the partners who have worked to develop the new national malaria strategic document. There is the hope to continue to work with partners in making optimal use of this national document to achieve the vision of zero malaria deaths in Liberia. If implemented to the details, this new strategic plan will usher Liberia into malaria eliminating country by 2025.

The Government commits to working with their partners and all key stakeholders to ensure this malaria NSP is implemented, while focusing on galvanizing political will nationally and globally, as well as implementing best global strategies suitable for Liberia and applying a coordinated country response to significantly reduce malaria to pre-elimination stage in Liberia.
