• Develop a system and support supplies for active case detection.
• Scale-up detection of symptomatic malaria cases.
• Scale-up detection of asymptomatic and submicroscopic cases.
• Develop and increase capacity in vector control.
• Implement vector control in malaria transmission areas.
• Personal protection against outdoor transmission.
• Entomological surveillance, monitoring and evaluation of vector control operations.
• Promotion of integrated vector management.
