Malaria in Zambia Although there are clear signs of improvement, malaria continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Zambia, and control of the disease is one of the government's highest priorities. Malaria transmission in Zambia occurs throughout the year, with the peak during the rainy season, which occurs between November and April.   Read more about PMI's activities in the Zambia Country Profile [PDF, 462KB].

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