Cambodia Malaria Elimination Project 2 (CMEP2)
Objectives
The goal of CMEP2 is to eliminate malaria and prevent its re-introduction in target provinces, contributing to nationwide elimination and achievement of the Cambodia Malaria Elimination Action Framework 2: A Malaria-Free Cambodia and leading efforts towards self-reliance and sustained, self-financed malaria programming.
CMEP2 works to:
- Detect, effectively and safely treat, and follow up on all malaria cases and provide personal protection to high-risk populations;
- Strengthen national malaria surveillance and monitoring and evaluation systems appropriate for malaria elimination and control activities as well as prevention of re-introduction; and
- Build Cambodian health staff capacity to manage, intensify, and sustain malaria control and elimination efforts, especially at the provincial and operational district levels.

Cambodia has not experienced a confirmed malaria death since 2018 and the malaria cases have decreased by 99.97% in the last 6 years. But challenges remain in preventing malaria re-introduction in elimination areas and scaling up elimination efforts nationally and within specific high-risk populations, such as forest workers and mobile and migrant populations.
The Cambodia Malaria Elimination Project 2 (CMEP2) builds on URC’s nearly two decades of working with Cambodia’s National Center for Parasitology, Entomology, and Malaria Control (CNM) to eliminate malaria and control the development and spread of drug-resistant malaria in the Greater Mekong Subregion.
The activity works in six provinces: Pailin, Batambang, Pursat, Kep, Kampot, and Koh Kong – which are supported by U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) malaria elimination activities.
