Global Malaria Programme
The WHO Global Malaria Programme (GMP) is responsible for coordinating WHO's global efforts to control and eliminate malaria. Its work is guided by the "Global technical strategy for malaria 2016–2030" adopted by the World Health Assembly in May 2015 and updated in 2025.

How to access WHO malaria guidance

 

­­    

Clear, evidence-informed WHO recommendations are designed to guide countries as they develop national malaria strategic plans; they support decisions around “what to do”. WHO also develops implementation guidance such as operational and field manuals to advise countries on “how to” deliver the recommended tools and strategies.

MAGICapp

All of the Organization’s most up-to-date recommendations on malaria are available through MAGICapp, as well as links to other resources, such as operational manuals, handbooks and frameworks. Users can access the evidence that underpins each recommendation and download a PDF version of the consolidated WHO guidelines for malaria. These consolidated guidelines are intended as a “living resource”; recommendations will be updated periodically as and when new evidence becomes available. See also a FrenchArabic and Spanish version of the guidelines.

Malaria Toolkit app

All of WHO’s official malaria recommendations can also be found on the “Malaria Toolkit app”. The app brings together the content from the consolidated guidelines for malaria and the World malaria report in one easy-to-navigate resource. The app is available for iOS devices and Android devices

Videos

In addition to its 2 key dissemination platforms (MAGICapp, mobile app), GMP has been exploring new ways to reach its target audiences. One such approach is the development of short, animated videos that describe WHO malaria recommendations across a range of technical areas in a simple and visually engaging way.
