The cumulative results for Year 7 (NFM) are shown as a percentage of the annual target. The LLINs (mass) distributed indicator is funded by GFATM only, while the others are funded by GFATM-Multiple Grant. The LLINs (continuous) distributed indicator is funded by GFATM and 3MDG. 

The malaria grant has supported mass distribution of 1,502,666 (100% of target) and continuous distribution of 1,987,865 (102% of target) long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) in 2017.

Over the year, parasitological testing was conducted on 2,185,077 suspected malaria cases in public health facilities, community and private sector, with all suspected malaria cases (100%) presenting to all sectors receiving a parasitological test.

Furthermore, 64,053 (94%) of 68,029 confirmed malaria cases were treated according to the national treatment guidelines at public health facilities, in the community and the private sector. Greater LLIN coverage has contributed to the decrease in the number of malaria cases, as has the service provided by village health volunteers, and more active case detection among mobile and migrant populations.

In total, 13,551 village health volunteers were trained during 2017. This year, 79 per cent of health facilities surveyed reported no stockout of essential malaria drugs and commodities (artemisinin-based combination therapy, chloroquine, primaquine and rapid diagnostic tests).
