SENEGAL
Senegal has made significant progress against malaria and remains a leader in piloting and scaling up new recommendations and innovative strategies. While the number of reported malaria cases in Senegal has dropped in recent years, malaria is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality and a high priority for the government. The National Strategic Plan for 2016–2020 strives to achieve the pre-elimination of malaria by 2020. As a result of the scale-up of malaria control interventions, parasitemia in children under five years of age has fallen to one percent nationwide in 2016. A 2016 household survey data also showed that under five mortality has dropped by 58 percent since 2005.
