National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP) of Kenya: 2019 – 2023

NOTE: This is not the most recent version of the document. See the latest updates here (link). 

The Kenya Malaria Strategy 2019-2023 was based on the recommendations of the end-term Malaria Programme Review for the previous strategy 2009–2018 (revised 2014). The strategy has taken into account several documents: the Kenya Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan July 2018–June 2023, the 2010 constitution of Kenya, Vision 2030, and the Global Technical Strategy for Malaria. The strategy was developed through an all-inclusive and documented process.

Kenya has made great strides in malaria control over the years. This strategy incorporates the recommendations of the malaria programme review and outlines a clear roadmap for the next five years.
