This strategic framework supports the Global Plan Towards the Elimination of New HIV Infections among Children by 2015 and Keeping their Mothers Alive. It offers guidance for preventing HIV infections and unintended pregnancies – both essential strategies for improving maternal and child health, and eliminating new pediatric HIV infections.
This framework can be used in conjunction with other related guidance that together address elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. This document focuses on strengthening rights-based policies and programming within health services and the community.

This document is an update of guidance published on 18 February 2016 to provide advice on the prevention of sexual transmission of Zika virus.
The primary transmission route of Zika virus is via the Aedes mosquito. However, mounting evidence has shown that sexual transmission of Zika virus is possible and more common than previously assumed. This is of concern due to an association between Zika virus infection and adverse pregnancy and fetal outcomes, including microcephaly, neurological complications and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
This document is intended to inform the general public, and to be used by health care workers and policy makers to provide guidance on appropriate sexual practices in the context of Zika virus

L’évolution de la prévalence parasitaire de 2009 à 2015, classe toujours le Sénégal parmi les pays de l’Afrique Sub-saharienne (ASS) où le paludisme est endémique et constitue un problème de santé. Toutefois ce fardeau a connu une régression significative de plus de 50% entre 2009 et 2015. En effet, la prévalence parasitaire est passée de 5,9% à 1,2% et la mortalité toutes causes confondues de 72‰ naissances vivantes à 33 ‰ naissances vivantes chez les moins de 5 ans entre 2009 et 2014. Ces résultats probants ont permis au Sénégal d’atteindre les objectifs de Roll Back Malaria (RBM) en 2015.
Il faudra toutefois noter que le fardeau de la maladie est toujours lourd dans certaines régions du pays où les décès qui lui sont attribuables persistent. Des défis demeurent encore, notamment ceux en rapport avec l’accès universel aux interventions majeures comme l’utilisation des Moustiquaires Imprégnées à Longue Durée d’Action (MILDA) et le traitement par les combinaisons thérapeutiques à base d’artémisinine (CTA) jusqu’au niveau communautaire après un diagnostic avec les tests de diagnostic rapide (TDR).
L’impact des interventions de lutte contre le paludisme, ces dernières années, a fortement modifié la répartition géographique du fardeau de la maladie. Cette nouvelle configuration impose une stratification plus opérationnelle permettant d’adapter les interventions aux caractéristiques épidémiologiques locales. L’approche focalisée des interventions spécifiques par zone devient alors un impératif.
En 2016, suite à l’évaluation des performances du programme, le Sénégal a élaboré avec l’appui des partenaires un nouveau plan stratégique national (PSN) de lutte contre le paludisme.
Le plan stratégique 2016 -2020 de lutte contre le paludisme au Sénégal est résolument engagé vers l’accélération du contrôle du paludisme en vue de sa pré-élimination, d’où sa vision : « Un Sénégal émergent sans paludisme, pour un développement durable »
Dans le contexte de pré élimination du paludisme dans certaines régions et du renforcement du contrôle dans d’autres, il est plus que jamais nécessaire, de maintenir les acquis et d’adopter des stratégies novatrices pour atteindre les objectifs fixés dans le PSN 2016-2020. La mobilisation des ressources domestiques et l’inscription de la lutte contre le paludisme dans l’agenda des décideurs politiques restent des impératifs pour le PNLP de même que l’utilisation des services de prévention et de prise en charge. C’est dans ce cadre que le PNLP a décidé de définir une stratégie intégrée de communication prenant en compte toutes les interventions : MILDA, TPI, CPS, PEC, AID.

This Compendium is built around the different themes in the theory of change and includes a focused set of indicators and related assessment tools that have direct and indirect relevance to tracking the links between SRH and HIV programmes at national and sub-national levels.
Related assessment tools are used to capture progress where individual indicators are not available. As efforts to link these programmes continue to gain traction in countries around the world, the compendium will evolve to include additional indicators and related assessment tools that provide useful data on critical issues related to SRH and HIV linkages.

In 2012, the Strategic Framework for Malaria SBCC: 2012-2017 set forth an agenda to advocate for and strengthen technical capacity for SBCC; a number of developments have occurred since its publication to warrant an update and extension of the original framework.
Available in English, French, and Portuguese.
Many people in malaria-prone areas now have access to insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and to effective antimalarial drug treatment. Although the number of countries with areas of low transmission has grown, the number of new pharmacological, epidemiological and vector challenges has also increased. Recent global strategy documents, such as the RBM Partnership’s Action and Investment to Defeat Malaria and WHO’s Global Technical Strategy for Malaria, call for new approaches and interventions as countries scale up and the dynamics of malaria transmission change.
The intended audiences for the Strategic Framework are:
The document is divided into three major parts that address specific themes:

The WHO Global Malaria Programme’s T3: Test. Treat. Track. initiative supports malaria-endemic countries in their efforts to achieve universal coverage with diagnostic testing and antimalarial treatment, as well as in strengthening their malaria surveillance systems. The initiative seeks to focus the attention of policy-makers and donors on the importance of adopting WHO’s latest evidence-based recommendations on diagnostic testing, treatment and surveillance, and on updating existing malaria control and elimination strategies, as well as country-specific operational plans.
This resource features key policy messages from WHO’s recommendations on diagnostic testing, treatment and surveillance of every suspected malaria case, which promotes that every suspected malaria case should be tested, every confirmed case should be treated with quality-assured antimalarial medicine and the disease should be tracked through a timely and accurate surveillance system. The initiative was launched on World Malaria Day 2012 and is designed around three core WHO documents:
