Self-audit of the National Malaria Program using the Malaria Elimination Audit Tool

The objectives of the malaria self-audit are as follow:

  • To review progress towards achieving the goal and objectives of the current national malaria strategic plan and overall program coverage and outcomes using WHO Malaria Elimination Audit Tool (MEAT).
  • To make recommendations for strengthening implementation of the program.
  • To make recommendations to accelerate the malaria elimination.

MALARIA ELIMINATION PROGRAM AUDIT

The MEAT implementing scoring recommends evaluation of the malaria program using the ten domains. Within each domain are critical elements drawn from the Framework for malaria elimination. For each element, there are one or more milestones that indicate progress towards full implementation of that element.

The implementation status of each element is indicated by a score, which reflects the country’s level of advancement, its capacity to institutionalize technical strategies and to ensure that they are sustainable. Scoring is applicable to most elements; those elements that do not lend themselves to a score are indicated by a N/A and are grayed out.

The following scheme is used

  • Not yet implemented. None of the milestones of the element have been reached.
  • Limited implementation. Implementation has started with some milestones achieved and others begun.
  • Expanded implementation. Most but not all of the milestones have been reached, or there remain significant gaps in the implementation of several milestones, or there are significant concerns about the sustainability of activities.
  • Fully implemented. All milestones have been reached and activities are sustainable.
