World Malaria Report 2017

The World malaria report provides a comprehensive overview of progress in the fight against malaria. It includes an up-to-date assessment of malaria-related policies in endemic countries, as well as the latest WHO recommendations on malaria prevention and control. It draws on data from 91 countries and areas with ongoing malaria transmission. The information is supplemented by data from national household surveys and databases held by other organizations.

World Malaria Report

The World Malaria Report 2016 uses data from 91 countries and areas with ongoing malaria transmission. The information is supplemented by data from national household surveys and databases held by other organisations.  The report tracks progress towards the 2020 malaria goals of the "Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030". It provides an in-depth analysis of trends in malaria control and elimination at global, regional and country levels.

Science of Using Science: Researching the Use of Research Evidence in Decision-Making

Research evidence is just one factor that can influence decision-making at a policy and practice level. While various interventions have been developed to enhance and support the use of research evidence by decision-makers, it is unclear which interventions are effective. This research project set out to review the efficacy of interventions applied to increase decision-makers’ use of research in various decision arenas. The project also examined whether there is additional knowledge in the broader social science literature that is relevant to evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) and could be applied to help support future interventions in this area.

Action and investment to defeat malaria 2016 - 2030 - For a Malaria-Free World

Action and Investment to defeat Malaria 2016-2030 complements WHO’s Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030 and unites the global community for the achievement of the 2030 malaria goals. It positions the disease in the post-2015 era, and makes a powerful economic and humanitarian case for continued investment in the fight against malaria over the next 15 years.

WHO Global technical strategy for malaria 2016 -2030

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.
