DISSEMINATION OF VECTOR

CONTROL GUIDELINES
2019
 Zambia National Malaria Elimination Strategy
Mission
• To provide equitable access to cost effective, quality health
services as close to the family as possible
Vision
• A malaria-free Zambia
Goals
• To eliminate local malaria infection and disease in Zambia by 2021.
• To maintain malaria free status and prevent reintroduction due to
importation of malaria in
areas where the disease has been eliminated.
OBJECTIVES

• To clear infections and interrupt transmission of Plasmodium

falciparum parasites.

• To document infection, illness, severe disease and mortality

burden reduction in districts, provinces and nationally and
assess progress towards elimination.
OBJECTIVES CONTD.
• To develop, strengthen, and maintain national political support,
technical and operational capacity and financial resources for
malaria elimination.

• To prevent the re-emergence of malaria transmission due to

importation in malaria-free districts.
PURPOSE OF GUIDELINES

• Enable The National Malaria Elimination Programme To

Conduct IRS Through Standard And Country Specific
Guidelines

• Ensure Interested Institutions That Are Considering Adopting

IRS To Consider Operational, Technical And Logistical Matters
