National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP) of the Gambia: 2021 – 2025

The Gambia has made significant progress in reducing malaria morbidity, achieving levels that have placed the country in a prime position to begin the transition from a control programme to an elimination programme. The National malaria policy 2021 – 2025 is to reduce malaria transmission to Zero through a rapid scale-up of proven and highly effective malaria prevention and treatment measures: Integrated Vector Management (IVM) under Preventive intervention; Malaria Case Management; SPI; Intermittent preventive treatment of pregnant women (IPTp), Malaria Prevention and Control During Pregnancy; Seasonal Malaria Prevention; Advocacy; Communication and Social Mobilization; Procurement and Supply Management (SMEOR) and Programme Management and Partnership.
The long-term vision of the plan is to sustained high coverage over 90% with malaria prevention and treatment interventions that would progressively lead to malaria-free Gambia with the ultimate goal of malaria elimination in the country by 2025 – 2030.
