I. INTRODUCTION
This abbreviated fiscal year (FY) 2019 Malaria Operational Plan (MOP) presents an implementation plan for Guinea, based on the strategies of the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) and the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) and building on investments made by PMI and other partners to improve and expand malaria-related services. It was developed in consultation with the NMCP and with the participation of national and international partners involved in malaria prevention and control in the country. The FY 2018 MOP contains a more detailed and comprehensive description of the malaria situation in Guinea, country health system delivery structure, Ministry of Health (MoH) organization, and PMI’s progress through April/May of 2017. This abbreviated MOP describes critical changes/updates to overall NMCP and PMI strategic approaches, as well as newly proposed activities under each technical area to be supported with FY 2019 funds.
