Country program status :

The status of a country in moving towards elimination

Colours :

On track in 2019 for GTS milestone to reduce malaria incidence by 40% by 2020 (vs 2015) :

Best available indicator with near term predictions for all APLMA countries based on the GTS milestones. It is expected that going forward this indicator will be replaced by the GTS indicator of 90% reduction by 2030 as trends become clearer and the baseline can be moved to 2015. There are currently no published �on track / off track� indicators for all APLMA countries estimating progress towards elimination in 2030.

Colours : Green >40% reduction Yellow <40% reduction Red increase

WHO estimated indigenous malaria cases :

WHO does a country by country estimate of indigenous malaria cases based on modelling which is often very different from the cases reported by the countries own surveillance system.

Colours : Green <1,000 Yellow 1,000-50,000 Red >50,000

Confirmed malaria cases :

All confirmed malaria cases reported in the country. Source: Data from WMR 2017 Annex 3-G showing reported cases by place of care.

Colours : Green <1,000 Yellow 1,000-50,000 Red >50,000

Indigenous malaria deaths :

All confirmed (indigenous for countries with case investigation) malaria deaths reported in the country.

Colours : Green <10 Yellow 10-50 Red >50

Indigenous malaria cases :

All confirmed malaria cases reported in the country minus imported cases for countries with case investigation (ie cases not proven to be imported by case investigation are assumed indigenous). For countries with very low percentage of cases investigated (indicator 9) this indicator will be very close to indicator 2 (Reported confirmed malaria cases). Source: Data from WMR 2017 Annex 3-G showing reported cases by place of care. Imported cases taken from WMR 2017 Annex 3-H.

Colours : Green <1,000 Yellow 1,000-50,000 Red >50,000

Confirmed Pf cases :

All Pf cases reported in the country (indigenous for countries with case investigation).

Colours : Green <1,000 Yellow 1,000-50,000 Red >50,000

Confirmed malaria cases per 1000 population :

Number of reported confirmed malaria cases per 1000 population at risk (uses UN populations).

Colours : Green <10 Yellow 10-50 Red >50

Test positivity rate (Slide/RDT) :

Percentage of RDT / Slide that are positive.

Colours : Green <5% Yellow 5% - 10% Red >10%

% Suspected malaria cases tested with RDT or microscopy :

WHO does a calculation of suspected cases and compares this with the number of tests

Colours : Green >80% Yellow 40% - 80% Red >40%

% Confirmed malaria cases investigated :

Number of cases investigated as a percentage of total cases reported. Some countries have yet to implement case investigation and it is assumed that zero cases are investigated (red)

Colours : Green >80% Yellow 40% - 80% Red >40%

% Population at high risk potentially protected by ITN / IRS :

Estimate of number of high risk people protected by ITN or IRS.

Colours : Green >80% Yellow 40% - 80% Red >40%

Therapeutic efficacy monitoring undertaken for Pf and results shared (2019/20) :

Has the country undertaken TES for Pf in the latest two years and the results shared with WHO. This indicator is not relevant for countries with no or very low numbers of Pf.

Colours : Green Yes Yellow Ongoing Red No

ACT resistance identified :

Does the country have confirmed ACT resistance.

Colours : Green No Yellow artemisinin resistance only Red Yes

Insecticide susceptibility monitored (2017-19) :

Does the country undertake insecticide susceptibility monitoring. In addition to the color coding the number of classes resistant in 2015 is shown as a number

Colours : Green 3yrs Yellow 1 or 2 yaers Red None

% of Malaria program financing funded by domestic sources :

Percentage of malaria program financing from national government. Government spending commitment reported to Global Fund a percentage of total malria commitments> data for China, Malaysia, Korea and Vanuatu taken from WHO WMR (non GF countries).

Colours : Not scored

Malaria is a notifiable disease (<48hrs) :

Does the country mandate by law that each individual case of malaria must be reported within 24-48hrs.

Colours : Green Yes Red No

Case reporting from private sector mandatory :

Does the country require private sector facilities to report all cases of malaria.

Colours : Green Yes Red No

Case and Foci investigation undertaken :

Does the country have policies to undertake case and foci investigation.

Colours : Green Yes Yellow Case investigation only Red No

Treatment of Pf with primaquine :

Does the country have a policy to use a single dose of primaquine as gametocidal medicine for Pf.

Colours : Green Yes Red No

Treatment of Pv with primaquine :

Does the country have a policy to use Primaquine is used for radical treatment of Pv cases.

Colours : Green Yes Red No

Quality assurance oversight by reference laboratory :

Does the country have diagnostic quality assurance oversight by a reference laboratory.

Colours : Green Yes Red No
