A publication of Playsafe Life Care Foundation Magazine which aim to publish strategies that can ensure improved access of poor populations to existing, efficacious health interventions. In this edition, we feature how Kwara state is achieving ambitious goals of the 2014-2020 National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP) which include reaching pre-elimination status for the disease (less five per cent which can be interpreted as less than 5000 cases per 100,000 people) and zero mortality from the disease which focused on creating a malaria-free Nigeria. We talked to Mr John Ocholi, ITNs Campaign Manager, Society for Family Health, who led the distribution of 2,296,100 ITNs with over 7000 workers and 29 Community Based Organizations (CBOs), using door to door approach in 193 wards across the 16 Local Government Areas, Kwara state and achieving 100% ITNs coverage. He talks about evaluation of ITNs usage among beneficiaries, obstacles against usage and communication approaches. To give’s more detail of malaria elimination program implementation in Kwara state, we equally interviewed Alhaji Ngeri Tunde Abdulahi, the Deputy Director (Nursing) and also Program Director, State Malaria Elimination Program, who spokes about the current status of the Kwara state malaria control program, state counterpart fund, strategies for elimination and eradication of malaria, the challenges confronting
