Malawi

Malaria in Malawi While progress is being made in reducing prevalence, malaria is still a major public health problem in Malawi, and all Malawians are at risk of contracting the disease. Transmission is perennial, though it increases during the rainy season, which runs from November through April. Higher malaria transmission occurs along Lake Malawi and the lowland areas of the lower Shire valley.   Read more about PMI's activities in the Malawi Country Profile [PDF, 586KB].

The Malaria Operational Plans (MOPs) below are detailed one-year implementation plans for PMI in Malawi. Each MOP briefly reviews the current status of malaria control and prevention policies and interventions, identifies challenges and unmet needs, and describes planned activities under PMI. These MOPs have been endorsed by the Global Malaria Coordinator and reflect collaborative discussions with national malaria control programs and partners in country.
