Malaria elimination is back on the agenda, but it remains challenging for countries to make the transition from effective control to elimination. Many other infectious diseases have been targeted by globally-coordinated elimination advocacy campaigns, and advocacy has been considered an essential component of the success of other disease elimination programmes. What can the malaria community learn from these successes? A review of infectious disease elimination programmes to identify successful elements of advocacy for disease elimination was undertaken. Key elements are: (i) a global elimination plan, supported by international health bodies; (ii) thorough costings and tools to support the business case; (iii) an approach that is positioned within a development framework; (iv) core elimination advocacy messages; (v) provision of advocacy tools for partners (vi) extensive and effective community engagement; and (vii) strong partnerships. These features provide insights into 'what works' in global elimination advocacy. Advocacy is a powerful tool to support the long-term political and financial commitment necessary for malaria elimination. The global malaria community needs to work together, to ensure that the early steps towards the end goal of malaria elimination are taken.
疟疾消除工作重新提上议程，但各国从有效控制过渡到消除疟疾仍面临挑战。许多其他传染病已成为全球协调的消除宣传运动的目标，宣传被视为其他疾病消除计划成功的重要组成部分。疟疾界能从这些成功案例中学到什么？开展了一项对传染病消除计划的审查，以确定疾病消除宣传的成功要素。关键要素包括：（i）由国际卫生机构支持的全球消除计划；（ii）全面的成本核算和支持商业案例的工具；（iii）置于发展框架内的方法；（iv）核心消除宣传信息；（v）为合作伙伴提供宣传工具；（vi）广泛而有效的社区参与；以及（vii）强大的伙伴关系。这些特征为全球消除宣传中“什么有效”提供了见解。宣传是支持疟疾消除所需的长期政治和财政承诺的有力工具。全球疟疾界需要共同努力，确保朝着疟疾消除的最终目标迈出早期步伐。
