CDC is charged by U.S. Congress through the Lantos/Hyde Act to take a leadership position in strategic information (monitoring and evaluation, surveillance, operations research)—advising the U.S. Malaria Coordinator on priorities for strategic information activities and being a key implementer of such activities. To ensure that limited resources are being used wisely, CDC helps countries and the U.S. Government target appropriate malaria prevention efforts and understand the impact of PMI activities and interventions.
