Kenya Malaria Policy | Second Edition 2024

The Kenya Malaria Policy | Second Edition 2024 document outlines the guiding principles for malaria control and elimination in the country and gives directions regarding malaria strategies, interventions, and tools. The policy directions embrace the government’s agenda on universal health coverage and achievement of the health sustainable development goals toward the global call for malaria elimination. It demonstrates the overall commitment to equity, human rights, and gender, with emphasis on inclusive community participation and access to malaria services for all populations. The policy is cognizant of the need for innovation and new tools in delivering health services.

This updated policy incorporates the changes that have taken place in the country, including the transition to a devolved system of governance in 2013 and updates in malaria interventions—such as the World Health Organization’s (WHO) approval of malaria vaccines and new formulations for insecticide-treated nets—which have been adopted in Kenya in recent years.
