From: Malaria eradication: the economic, financial and institutional challenge
I. Community and household | Reduced acceptability of control measures such as house spraying as perceived malaria risk falls; acceptability of new interventions such as mass screening and treatment; changed behavioural response to illness as age distribution of malaria changes and malaria share of fevers declines; access barriers to reaching isolated (geographically, socially, etc.) communities for outbreak control |
II. Health service delivery | Need for effective disease surveillance and response systems |
III. Health sector policy and strategic management | Strengthened links between technical programmes (e.g. malaria and MCH programmes) to ensure revised guidance for appropriate management of non-malaria fever and greater burden of disease in adults |
IV. Public policies cutting across sectors | Legal frameworks and border controls for coordinating action in cross-border outbreaks; financing mechanisms that allow for and protect commitments to malaria control |
V. Environmental and contextual characteristics | Ensuring sustained political and financial commitment to eradication at all levels; structures of public accountability that will support such commitment |
