This study aims to determine the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, acceptability, and
feasibility of targeted delivery of a package of malaria interventions for improving
effective coverage and reducing Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission among malaria
high-risk populations in Northern Namibia. Previous research identified cattle herders and
agricultural workers as populations at higher risk of infection. The investigators
hypothesize that targeted delivery of interventions will lead improve coverage in these
groups and lead to a reduction in P. falciparum transmission.
