Senegal

Malaria in Senegal Malaria is endemic throughout Senegal, and 100 percent of the population is at risk. Transmission occurs seasonally, with high transmission occurring from September to December, toward the end of – and immediately following – the rainy season. Senegal is one of the African countries where dramatic progress has been made in malaria control since 2000, under the leadership of the National Malaria Control Program, and with assistance from the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) and other partners. The most recent nationwide household survey showed significant improvements in malaria indicators and a 40 percent reduction in deaths in children under the age of five compared with a 2005 survey.   Read more about PMI's activities in the Senegal Country Profile [PDF, 260KB].

The Malaria Operational Plans (MOPs) below are detailed one-year implementation plans for PMI in Senegal. 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.
