This brief presents a framework for increasing the efficiency of malaria-control initiatives that addresses where to intervene, what interventions are best, and how to deliver them most effectively. Much of what is spent on malaria control is already spent well, but health policymakers and practitioners could get better value and save more lives by implementing the following recommendations: Improve procurement procedures for bednets; Reduce overlap of insecticide-spraying and bednet programs; Expand the use of rapid diagnostics; Scale up intermittent presumptive treatment for pregnant women and infants.
