Kenya has set the goal of eliminating malaria by 2030, and the United States is proud to partner with the Government of Kenya and other stakeholders on this critical work. We eagerly await the release of the new Kenya Malaria Indicator Survey, conducted with support from the US through the President’s Malaria Initiative, and the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. PMI partners closely with the Division of National Malaria Program and the counties to implement the Kenya Malaria Strategy. The United States’ engagement in Kenya’s fight against malaria includes research into new tools to reduce malaria cases, such as the world’s first malaria vaccine. This year, Kenya celebrates World Malaria Day with the pledge: Nachukua msimamo kuangamiza malaria (I take a position to eradicate malaria).
