According to the MoH, Malaria remains a public health problem in Kenya with about 70 percent of the population at risk of the disease. The Ministry of Health through the National Malaria Control Program has adopted the vision of achieving a malaria free Kenya. The revised Kenya malaria strategy 20092018 (KMS), the National malaria policy (2010) and the Kenya malaria monitoring and evaluation plan (2009 2018) provide the guiding framework for malaria control in Kenya towards accelerating the reduction of the burden of malaria and achieving the vision of a malaria-free Kenya.The KMS 20092018 is hinged on six strategic objectives that lay out the key malaria control interventions: vector control (universal coverage of long lasting insecticidal nets in targeted areas; indoor residual spraying and larval source management; prevention of malaria in pregnancy), diagnosis and treatment, epidemic-preparedness and response as well as surveillance, monitoring, evaluation and operational research, advocacy, communication and social mobilization and program management. The KMS recognizes strategic communication as an integral component to achieve the vision of a malaria-free Kenya as outlined in its fifth strategic objective that seeks to increase the utilization of malaria interventions to 80 percent P.
