The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the Global Technical Strategy for Malaria (GTSM) to guide malaria control and elimination efforts from 2016 to 2030. The key targets included the reduction of malaria case incidence and mortality by at least 90% by 2030, eliminating Malaria in at least 35 countries by 2030, and preventing the re-establishment of Malaria in all malaria free countries by 2030 [10]. To attain the GTSM targets, more innovative tools and superior approaches to malaria prevention and case management are required.

This evidence brief provides information on the existing tools for malaria incidence reduction and elimination, including the tools’ strengths, limitations, and implementation/ adaptation barriers within the sub-Saharan Africa region.
