Abstract	In 2009, the government established Kenyan National Malaria Strategy (KNMS) 2009-2017 to fight malaria yet the prevalence is still high in endemic zones. The objective was to investigate the effect of Malaria Prevention Strategies in Pregnant Women in Siaya County, Kenya. Cross-sectional survey design was employed and the study targeted pregnant women aged 1549 years coming to public health facilities for routine antenatal care services. Data collected was cleaned and keyed into an MS Excel spread sheet then exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. The findings were presented using frequency tables, bar charts and pie charts. Binomial regressions was done to show the interactions between the independent variables on dependent variables. The regression analysis was done at 95% confidence level. The study found that the adoption of two methods of malaria prevention in women, Insectiside Treated Netss and Intermittent Pregnancy Treatment with Fansidar, are not up to the recommendations of the WHO. However, Indoor Residual Spraying was effectively implemented. The findings of the study shed light on the uptake of malaria prevention initiatives and reflect on the effectivess of these strategies and thereafter influence policy for improvement of the implementation of malaria prevention strategies.
