Abstract	In 2008, the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) partnership prepared a Global Malaria Action Plan (GMAP) in line with the 2010 targets of the UN Secretary General. A global strategy outlined the goal to have a substantial and sustained reduction in the burden of malaria in the near and mid-term (2015), and the eventual global eradication of malaria in the long term. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Earth Observation (EO), Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and spatial statistics play a crucial role to monitor, control and plan malaria vector control. MALAREO aims for the development and implementation of EO products and capacities within malaria vector control and management programmes in southern Africa, including South Africa, Swaziland, and Mozambique. End-user surveys conducted in MALAREO have shown high interest for EO epidemiology applications as well as EO products directly supporting the Malaria Control Programmes (MCP) in their daily work.
