A New Vision: GTS & AIM
The WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030 (GTS) guides the development of tailored country programs to reduce malaria burden and accelerate progress toward elimination and underlines the need to ensure universal coverage of core malaria interventions and identifies areas where innovative solutions will be required to reach goals, while the RBM Partnership’s Action and Investment to defeat Malaria 2016-2030 (AIM) — for a malaria-free world serves as a guide for collective action, innovation and financing to foster an enabling environment toward malaria elimination. Together, the two documents provide a comprehensive framework toward elimination targets, outlining concrete malaria milestones in 2020 and 2025 to measure progress.
