PMI: Presidents Malaria Initiative - Saving lives in Africa.

Zambia

 

Malaria in Zambia
Zambia is one of the African countries where great progress in malaria control has been made in the past decade. Very high rates of coverage of insecticide-treated nets and intermittent preventive treatment of pregnant women have been achieved. In spite of these achievements, malaria control remains one of the government’s highest priorities. Malaria transmission in Zambia occurs throughout the year, with a peak during the rainy season, which occurs between November and April.

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.
