The document titled "Manual for Stratifying Malaria Risk and the Elimination of Foci" by PAHO provides guidance for countries in the Americas on how to systematically assess and classify malaria transmission risk at subnational levels. It outlines a standardized approach to stratification and the id...entification of active transmission foci, helping public health authorities prioritize interventions, allocate resources efficiently, and implement targeted strategies to accelerate progress toward malaria elimination.

Todos los países de la Región de las Américas en los que la malaria es endémica han asumido el reto de eliminar la enfermedad y de poner en marcha medidas para orientar sus programas y estrategias de salud en esa dirección. En este manual se explica cómo ejecutar las medidas con vistas a logra...r la eliminación de la malaria y prevenir su restablecimiento, mediante el aumento de la intensidad y la calidad de las medidas, la reorientación de las iniciativas, la reducción de los retrasos que favorecen la transmisión y un monitoreo adecuado que permita ajustar las intervenciones. En este sentido, se propone como primer paso estratificar el territorio —de modo que se puedan planificar y priorizar las intervenciones y grupos de población— para, a continuación, aplicar una medida de diagnóstico, tratamiento, investigación y respuesta como estrategia clave dirigida a hacer efectiva la eliminación de la enfermedad y a prevenir su restablecimiento en todos los estratos. Además, el documento trata de hacer operativo el concepto de vigilancia, como intervención promovida por la Organización Mundial de la Salud a través de la Estrategia Técnica Mundial contra la Malaria 2016-2030, y destaca la importancia de que las comunidades tengan acceso al diagnóstico y el tratamiento tempranos. Por último, en el manual también se incluyen aspectos de gestión y monitoreo que deben tenerse en cuenta para la eliminación de los focos de transmisión.

Zambia has completed the implementation of the National TB Strategic Plan (2017-2021) that set in motion the TB elimination agenda in Zambia through coordinated and accelerated TB response. During this period, the National TB and Leprosy Programme (NTLP) registered tremendous success.
The NTLP is ...poised to attain the ambitious goal pronounced by the government of eliminating TB by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the World Health Organization End TB Strategy. The programme exponentially increased TB notifications from as low as 35,922 people with TB in 2018 to 40,726 in 2020 and in 2021 the TB notifications rose to 50,825 (a 25% increase against 2020 performance). The NTLP also registered incredible success in sustaining high TB Preventive Treatment (TPT) initiations among persons living with HIV and a high TB treatment success rate among drug-susceptible TB cases. New and relapse TB notifications in children below 15 years increased by 43%, from 2,724 in 2020 to 3,890 in 2021. TB notifications ratio between children aged 0-4 and 5-14 was 0.9, an improvement from what we achieved in 2018 (the ratio was 0.7). The proportion of TB patients who are HIV positive continued to decrease, reaching 34% in 2021 from 39% in 2020. Sustained increases in TB notifications, treatment success rate, and TPT initiations have resulted in a rapid decrease in the TB incidence rate that reached 307 per 100,000 population in 2021 against a rate of 391 in 2015.

This document was developed by the Ministry of Health in Malawi in collaboration with national and international partners. It introduces a Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) malaria message guide that is aligned with the National Malaria Communication Strategy (NMCS) for the period 2023–2030. The g...uide aims to facilitate effective communication and behavioural change in order to reduce malaria-related morbidity and mortality. It provides a reference framework for messaging and communication tools tailored to target groups, supporting the broader goals of the Health Sector Strategic Plan III. This guide was developed with technical and financial support from key partners, including USAID, PMI through Breakthrough ACTION, and other stakeholders. The guide reflects Malawi’s ongoing commitment to evidence-based SBC interventions, community engagement, and the national fight against malaria.
