Malaria elimination strategy

Building upon the progress to date in PMI-supported countries, PMI aims to work with NMCPs and partners to accomplish the following objectives by 2020:

1. Reduce malaria mortality by one-third from 2015 levels in PMI-supported countries, achieving a greater than 80 percent reduction from PMI’s original 2000 baseline levels.
2. Reduce malaria morbidity in PMI-supported countries by 40 percent from 2015 levels. 
3. Assist at least five PMI-supported countries to meet the WHO criteria for national or sub-national pre-elimination.

 To achieve these objectives, PMI will take a strategic approach which emphasizes the following five areas:

•  Achieving and sustaining scale of proven interventions
• Adapting to changing epidemiology and incorporating new tools
• Improving countries’ capacity to collect and use information
• Mitigating risk against the current malaria control gains
• Building capacity and health systems.
