This Essential Malaria Action Guide for Kenyan Families, developed by Kenya's Division of Malaria Control with SBCC technical guidance from C-Change, outlines seven essential malaria actions (EMAs) that fall into four categories: use of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs), malaria case management, indoor residual spraying, and malaria prevention during pregnancy.

The guide provides health managers, health workers, NGO partners, and others working in malaria control and prevention in Kenya with a common set of strategies, a key set of messages for households, and the basis for all social and behavior change communication (SBCC) activities and interventions in this area.
