Revised SOP for monitoring and supervision Check list for field trip Set up supervision team 7. Field monitoring and supervision

-Baseline 2015: SME system is functional to report routinely on malaria indicators related to malaria control -Mid-term: it is expected that SME system will be revised to reflect elimination challenges in : it is expected that SME will be operational in all areas eligible for malaria elimination with immediate/mandatory reporting on all confirmed cases 8. Evaluation of SME System performance

9. Reporting Monthly report to higher levels Realtime report for malaria case (SMS) Feedback to lower level

The establishment of the national committee on malaria elimination has been agreed with the Minister of Health. The TWG and STWG have been set up to guide this process 9. Establish a National Independent Malaria Elimination Monitoring Committee

11. Updating legislation – Malaria is notification disease Compulsory parasite based diagnosis (already in place); Private sector participation (not yet properly involved, but the private sector has to report to a public health facility on each confirmed malaria case); Appropriate treatment and follow up of confirmed cases (already in place); and Access to quality anti malarial medicines (not yet sure that all drugs are quality-assured in the private sector)

12. Involve private sector – Training (already in place) – Support for referral is important (already in place for severe and complicated cases) – to ensure all suspected cases are confirmed by RDT (yes), – notified (not yet)
