Analysis of malaria prevalence data has demonstrated that seasonal malaria chemoprevention is having a significant impact in Burkina Faso.

Monitoring the long-term impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention relies on a standard set of malaria indicators obtained from various data sources. Interpreting the results is challenging due to the indirect nature of the data sources and unclear expectations across endpoints. The study authors aimed to identify the most effective methods for monitoring long-term impact and to identify the factors and programmatic approaches that most effectively drive impact.
