This FY 2017 Malaria Operational Plan presents a detailed implementation plan for Nigeria, based on the strategies of PMI and the National Malaria Elimination Program (NMEP). It was developed in consultation with the NMEP and with the participation of national and international partners involved in malaria prevention and control in the country. The activities that PMI is proposing to support fit in well with the National Malaria Control strategy and plan and build on investments made by PMI and other partners to improve and expand malaria-related services, including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (Global Fund) malaria grants. This document briefly reviews the current status of malaria control policies and interventions in Nigeria, describes progress to date, identifies challenges and unmet needs to achieving the targets of the NMEP and PMI, and provides a description of activities that are planned with FY 2017 funding.
