The Working Group’s activities are focused on addressing key questions defined by the APMEN Country Partners and are closely aligned with regional elimination strategies. The Working Group’s programme responds to the emerging needs of countries as they move through their different stages toward elimination. The working group has a cyclical approach to prioritise its activities: starting with identifying key knowledge gaps, building consensus regarding priority areas, generating necessary evidence and then facilitating translating findings into policy and practice. Activities are centred around three main themes to ensure the greatest relevance to antimalarial policy and practice: diagnostics, treatment, and surveillance.
