The vision of this national strategy is to attain a malaria-free Zambia. The goal is to eliminate local malaria infection and disease in Zambia by 2021, and to maintain the malaria-free status and prevent reintroduction and importation of malaria into areas where the disease has been eliminated.

Key elimination interventions include vector control; case management; parasite clearance; health promotion; enhanced surveillance, monitoring, evaluation, and research for informed decision-making, including quality and timely facility/community reporting of cases.
