Malaria risk stratification identifies geographical areas that are at a potential risk of malaria transmission based on the recent malaria burden, receptivity characteristics, and the potential vulnerability of the area to malaria. Malaria risk stratification is a prerequisite for a rational targeted intervention and an essential step for an effective and efficient resource mobilization.
