Community-based control activities have been a major component of the Tigray regional malaria control programme since 1992. A team of 735 volunteer community health workers treat on average 60,000 clinical malaria cases monthly during the high malaria transmission season. Ensuring access for the rural population to early diagnosis and treatment has contributed to a significant decrease in death rate in under-five children at the village level from 1994 to 1996. Mapping and geographic information system (GIS) technologies have been introduced to support planning for control by assessment of community-based coverage. With further development, GIS will be used in stratification, and to assess the impact of water resources development on malaria transmission and intensity.
自1992年以来，基于社区的防控活动一直是提格雷地区疟疾防控计划的主要组成部分。一个由735名社区卫生工作志愿者组成的团队，在疟疾传播高发季节，每月平均治疗60000例临床疟疾病例。确保农村人口能够获得早期诊断和治疗，使得1994年至1996年期间，村级五岁以下儿童死亡率大幅下降。现已引入绘图和地理信息系统（GIS）技术，以通过评估社区覆盖率来支持防控规划。随着进一步发展，GIS将用于分层，并评估水资源开发对疟疾传播和强度的影响。
