RAI Indicators List and Definitions
The indicators in red are not standard and were recommended by the consultants, thus we need to
work on their definitions together
Impact indicators
1
Confirmed falciparum malaria cases (microscopy or RDT) per 1000 persons per year
(disaggregated by source).
2
Either... % of administrative units with falciparum incidence <1/1,000, or… % of
administrative units with falciparum incidence <0.1/1,000.
3
% of indigenous cases among investigated case (applies only to low endemic areas… to
be defined).
Outcome indicators
1
% of mobile people that used an ITN the last time they slept in transmission areas
(disaggregated by category of mobile/migrant person) (special regional survey year 1 &
3).
Coverage/Output indicators
1
# of ITNs/LLINs distributed to at-risk populations through mass campaigns
2
# & % of population at risk potentially covered by ITNs distributed
3
% of suspected malaria cases that receive a parasitological test (numerator and
denominator presented in results)
4
% of confirmed malaria cases that received first-line antimalarial treatment according
to national policy (numerator and denominator presented in results)
5
% of confirmed cases in low endemic areas fully investigated.
6
% of public sector health facilities or private sector sites without stock-outs of key
commodities lasting more than one week in the last three months (also report on
community health workers with no stock-outs) (based on random representative
sample to be agreed with GF).
7
% of confirmed transmission foci that received an appropriate response (screening and
IRS, LLIN top-up and/or treatment).
8
# & % of targeted communities with community-based diagnostic and treatment
services.
9
% of confirmed falciparum malaria cases receiving DOT (disaggregated by tier).
10 % of mobile population with fever in the last 3 months that accessed parasite-based
diagnosis (special regional survey year 1 & 3).
11
% of private sector outlets stocking oral artemisinin-based monotherapies (special
regional survey year 1 & 3).
