Achieving Global Malaria Eradication through Accelerated Regional Elimination

Objectives

To advance malaria elimination in priority regions of Southern Africa and the Asia Pacific, and support the global goal of malaria eradication, through evidence generation, technical assistance, resource mobilization and capacity building.

Over the next four years, the Malaria Elimination Initiative (MEI) will bolster efforts to shrink the malaria map in Asia Pacific and Southern Africa. Through partnership with national malaria programs, the MEI will develop and test new tools for diagnosis, surveillance and vector control, and build the financial and political commitment required to achieve and sustain zero malaria.
