• Set up a comprehensive and prompt reporting system for malaria case investigation and rapid response (1-3-7 strategy).
• Develop a drug policy.
• Increase coverage of health facilities (for passive case detection) through 471 HPHs, 450 MPs/BMPs and 240 MCs under RAI2E as well as through public hospitals
• Develop a system and support supplies for active case detection.
• Scale-up detection of symptomatic malaria cases.
• Scale-up detection of asymptomatic and submicroscopic cases.
• Develop and increase capacity in vector control.
• Implement vector control in malaria transmission areas.
• Personal protection against outdoor transmission.
• Entomological surveillance, monitoring and evaluation of vector control operations.
• Promotion of integrated vector management.
• Develop capacity of personnel working on vector control and partner personnel.
• Scale-up eliminating drug resistant falciparum in drug resistant areas
• Continuous drug resistance monitoring.
• Remedial measures at locations having drug resistance.
• Formulate and move forward policy on banning artemisinin monotherapy for uncomplicated malaria.
• Conduct training on malaria research proposal development.
• Conduct research related to malaria elimination.
• Arrange forums for information exchange on technologies and innovations on malaria elimination.
