KENYA
Approximately 70 percent of Kenya’s population is at risk for malaria, with 14 million people in endemic areas and another 17 million in areas of epidemic and seasonal malaria. The Government of Kenya places a high priority on malaria control and tailors its malaria control efforts to achieve maximum impact. With support from PMI and other partners, Kenya has been able to show improvements in coverage of malaria prevention and treatment measures. Recent household surveys show a reduction in malaria parasite prevalence to 8 percent in 2015 nationwide. The mortality rate in children under five years of age has declined by 55 percent.
