Table 4 Key learnings from malaria elimination choices and changes

From: The central role of national programme management for the achievement of malaria elimination: a cross case-study analysis of nine malaria programmes

• Strategic plans and stratification strategies are an important part of programme planning

• In most cases, programme action occurred as a result of an increase in malaria cases or deaths. In a few cases, a new elimination goal or leadership drove action

• Some programmes showed a high degree of flexibility and adoption of new strategies and tools

• Programmes likely avoided outbreaks by working with other sectors to identify and respond to threats of importation or increased incidence

• Analysis and feedback of programme performance to the periphery is important but not well-described in the case-studies
