Pillar 3 of the Global technical strategy for malaria 2016–2030 calls for the transformation of malaria surveillance into a core intervention in all malaria-endemic countries, as well as in countries which have eliminated malaria but remain susceptible to re-establishment of transmission. This ref...erence manual covers subjects that are relevant to both settings.
The target readership of this manual includes staff working in ministries of health, national malaria programmes and health information systems; partners involved in malaria surveillance; and WHO technical officers who advise countries on malaria surveillance.

It accompanies and should put into practice the guiding strategic principles found in the Community Early Warning Systems: Guiding Principl...es.

access to early diagnosis and treatment. The specific objectives are to: Minimize the barriers that the population faces in accessing timely, quality diagnosis and treatment. Reduce the time bet...ween diagnosis and the start of treatment. Reduce the parasite reservoir in symptomatic infected persons through early treatment. Maximize the transmission-blocking strategy by taking early action on gametocytes. Decrease the incidence of P. vivax relapses.Ultimately, disrupt malaria transmission and prevent mortalit.

The Global Action Plan has five strategic objectives: 1) prevention and response; 2) monitoring and surveillance; 3) research and innovation; 4) laboratory capacity; and 5) governance and enabling mechanisms.

While Western donors attribute their inaction to financial constraints, the global health community has limited knowledge of China’s ex...panding role in malaria prevention. This knowledge gap arises from the fact that China does not consistently report its foreign development assistance activities to established aid transparency initiatives. Our work focuses on identifying Chinese-funded malaria control projects throughout Africa and linking them to official data on malaria prevalence. By doing so, we aim to shed light on China’s contributions to malaria control efforts, analysing their investments and assessing their impact. This would provide valuable insights into the development of effective financing mechanisms for future malaria control in Africa.
