Optimizing 1-3-7 surveillance and response strategies to achieve malaria elimination across the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS)
Objectives
The aim of this mixed-methods, multi-national evaluation study is to investigate how GMS countries are applying surveillance and response strategies (including the 1-3-7 strategy) in malaria elimination programs, and how these strategies may be optimised and synthesised in the context of existing national health systems.
This project will aim to improve the quality, effectiveness, and coverage of existing 1-3-7 malaria elimination strategies for achieving regional malaria elimination targets.

Stage 1 will be a formative assessment of current approaches and systems to malaria surveillance and response in the region, and stage 2 will involve the development of optimal surveillance and response strategies for malaria elimination in GMS, including pilot implementation of an optimized approach in order to inform refinements of proposed strategies.
