Completeness and accuracy of data were suboptimal at district level. The frequency of data quality assurance visits did not show clear improvements across all quality indicators.
Core components of Mozambique’s Malaria Strategic Plan 2017–2022 included strengthening its malaria surveillance strategy (MSS) and addressing bottlenecks in data quality for evidence-based decision-making. As such, an evaluation of the MSS was conducted at the district level in 2022, following a three-year surveillance-strengthening project, which aimed to operationalise a functional MSS that is responsive to all transmission strata by strengthening data quality and fostering a data use and a data-to-action culture.
