Global technical strategy for malaria 2016–2030

TLDR

The Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016–2030, adopted by the World Health Assembly in May 2015, was developed in close alignment with the Roll Back Malaria Partnership to promote shared goals toward a malaria‑free world. The strategy aims to accelerate malaria elimination by guiding countries with a comprehensive framework, setting a 90 % reduction target for incidence and mortality by 2030, and emphasizing universal coverage of core interventions and high‑quality surveillance. It outlines the need for universal coverage of core malaria interventions, high‑quality surveillance, identifies areas requiring innovative solutions, and estimates the global costs of implementation. It identifies key areas where innovative solutions are essential and estimates the global costs required to achieve the 2030 goals.

Abstract

The Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016–2030 was adopted by the World Health Assembly in May 2015. It provides a comprehensive framework to guide countries in their efforts to accelerate progress towards malaria elimination. The strategy sets the target of reducing global malaria incidence and mortality rates by at least 90% by 2030. It emphasizes the need for universal coverage of core malaria interventions for all populations at risk and highlights the importance of using high-quality surveillance data for decision-making. It also identifies areas where innovative solutions will be essential for attaining the goals, and summarizes the estimated global costs of implementation. The WHO strategy was developed in close alignment with the Roll Back Malaria Partnership's Action and Investment to defeat Malaria 2016-2030 – for a malaria-free world to ensure shared goals and complementarity.
