This report presents the challenges and opportunities—technical, financial, and operational—to accelerating Kenya’s progress toward national reduction targets as identified in a 2014 stakeholder analysis conducted by the PATH Malaria Control and Elimination Partnership in Africa (MACEPA). The analysis assessed the perceptions of key stakeholders in malaria policy and implementation decision-making around what respondents felt was needed to accelerate progress toward Kenya’s national malaria reduction targets, opportunities and barriers to increasing the prominence of malaria on the national health agenda, and readiness to introduce and scale new tools and approaches to accelerate efforts against malaria. The analysis findings are intended to inform policies and program strategies to further the reduction and elimination of the malaria burden in Kenya.

Summary of a report (Ethiopia: Accelerating Toward Malaria Elimination—Stakeholder Perspectives) presenting results from a stakeholder analysis conducted in Ethiopia by the PATH Malaria Control and Elimination Partnership in Africa (MACEPA) in partnership with Ethiopia’s Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH). The stakeholder analysis was designed to assess the perceptions of key stakeholders in malaria policy and implementation decision-making around readiness to introduce and scale new tools and approaches to accelerate efforts toward malaria elimination. The analysis also assessed perceptions around what respondents felt was needed to accelerate progress toward national targets and opportunities and barriers to increasing the prominence of malaria on the national health agenda.

This fact sheet provides an overview of the work of PATH's Malaria Control and Elimination Partnership in Africa (MACEPA) to develop and document approaches for reducing malaria illnesses and deaths, with the long-term goal of malaria elimination.

In February 2019, PATH and the US President’s Malaria Initiative, in partnership with Zambia’s National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), conducted a stakeholder assessment to explore the ways in which stakeholders’ perceptions of malaria elimination had changed (or had not changed) since 2015, when a baseline stakeholder assessment had been conducted. Stakeholders were asked about Zambia’s malaria targets and objectives, as described in the National Malaria Elimination Strategic Plan 2017–2021. Interviews also aimed to capture views around what was needed to accelerate progress towards national targets, as well as opportunities and barriers—technical, financial, and operational—for increasing the prominence of malaria on the national health agenda. The analysis of stakeholder responses is intended to inform future programme evaluation and strategy development to accelerate progress towards the reduction and elimination of the malaria burden in Zambia.
