Difficult decisions: A framework for prioritizing surveillance to match available resources

This framework developed by the RBM Surveillance, Monitoring & Evaluation (SME) Working Group is intentionally released in line with the Global Fund’s Grant Cycle 8 (GC8). It aims to support NMPs as they work through the difficult process of adapting malaria control and elimination programs to fit available resources in 2026. For many countries, this exercise builds on previous prioritization and reprogramming discussions (for example, from major funding disruptions, Global Fund planning and GC8 preparations, or subnational tailoring of malaria interventions and strategies [SNT] during National Strategic Plan [NSP] development).
