This program evaluation sought to provide data on the feasibility and acceptability and baseline entomological data of ZeroFly® nets at farms in Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia; inform whether a second-phase study should be conducted to assess their impact on epidemiological indicators (incidence and/or prevalence of malaria infection); and further entomological indicators. This report only presents data on the feasibility and acceptability (part I), while entomological data are presented in a different report (part II). These results would have great policy implications in revising the national vector control guidelines in such precarious geography and marginalized populations.

This publication outlines two decades of progress against malaria in Senegal and describes the three major success factors: outstanding leadership and partner engagement; high intervention coverage levels; a thriving data culture. It also explores new opportunities to consolidation and expand upon Senegal’s successes.

This study looked at seasonal migrant workers in Amhara, Ethiopia, who are susceptible to malaria infections during their travel and stay at farms, and have significant barriers to malaria prevention measures. The study aimed to understand their malaria control behaviors, and determine the feasibility of prevention strategies.

The malaria burden in Ethiopia has steadily decreased, and the country aims to achieve subnational elimination in 245 districts by 2020. However, increased population movement remains a key barrier to elimination. This study aims to assess spatial movement patterns of migrant workers and related malaria risk in Amhara Region, Ethiopia.

Passive incidence of malaria cases is the main metric used in near-zero transmission settings in Ethiopia; other methods are needed to assess transmission interruption. These surveys aimed to assess malaria exposure in two regions of Ethiopia, describe secular transmission trends, and identify the best sampling strategy for malaria elimination scale-up.
