Abstract

Community-based control activities have been a major component of the Tigray regional malaria control programme since 1992. A team of 735 volunteer community health workers treat on average 60,000 clinical malaria cases monthly during the high malaria transmission season. Ensuring access for the rural population to early diagnosis and treatment has contributed to a significant decrease in death rate in under-five children at the village level from 1994 to 1996. Mapping and geographic information system (GIS) technologies have been introduced to support planning for control by assessment of community-based coverage. With further development, GIS will be used in stratification, and to assess the impact of water resources development on malaria transmission and intensity.
