reaching 2.8 million children. Malaria cases were reduced by 49% in Mali.

60 percent of CRS’ malaria programs use mobile technology to improve speed
and accuracy of data collection, enable simple
analysis and use of complex data, or increase adherence
to malaria treatment guidelines.
CRS has supported malaria programming in The Gambia over the last 10 years, which
has contributed to a 95% reduction in malaria
prevalence from 4% in 2010 to 0.2% in 2014. The Gambia
is now a step closer to eliminating malaria.
