CRS has supported national malaria control programs in scaling up seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Guinea, Mali, Niger and The Gambia. In 2016, 11 million doses were distributed,

reaching 2.8 million children. Malaria cases were reduced by 49% in Mali.

60 percent of CRS’ malaria programs use mobile technology to improve speed

and accuracy of data collection, enable simple

analysis and use of complex data, or increase adherence

to malaria treatment guidelines.

CRS has supported malaria programming in The Gambia over the last 10 years, which

has contributed to a 95% reduction in malaria

prevalence from 4% in 2010 to 0.2% in 2014. The Gambia

is now a step closer to eliminating malaria.
