Malaria Elimination Eight Secretariat

VISION: To have a malaria-free southern Africa

GOAL: To enable and accelerate zero local transmission in the four frontline countries by 2020 (and the second line countries by 2030) through the provision of a joint platform for collaboration and joint strategic programming.

The E8 Strategic Plan is a consensus-driven strategy that outlines a series of objectives and activities designed to coordinate member countries and technical partners in the joint pursuit of effective elimination strategies. The focus of the Strategic Plan is to complement national-level efforts and investments, thus accelerating progress towards zero transmission. Because the E8 provides an effective platform, solutions to challenges such as cross-border movement, commodity supply, and security can be solved collectively.
