Malaria in Kenya
The epidemiology of malaria in Kenya is quite varied geographically, with high levels of transmission on the coast and around Lake Victoria but little or no transmission in the highlands above 1,500–2,000 meters altitude. The Government of Kenya tailors its malaria control efforts according to malaria risk to achieve maximum impact. Recent household surveys show significant progress is being made against malaria in Kenya, with improvements in coverage with malaria prevention and treatment measures and reductions in malaria parasitemia and illness.

The Malaria Operational Plans (MOPs) below are detailed one-year implementation plans for PMI in Kenya. Each MOP briefly reviews the current status of malaria control and prevention policies and interventions, identifies challenges and unmet needs, and describes planned activities under PMI. These MOPs have been endorsed by the Global Malaria Coordinator and reflect collaborative discussions with national malaria control programs and partners in country.
