Abstract: Integrated malaria molecular surveillance (iMMS) systems are essential for Africa's expanding malaria genomics initiatives. Here we highlight a few initiatives and demonstrate how iMMS can support evidence-based decisions and policies for National Malaria Programs and other malaria control stakeholders. We conclude with key considerations for advancing these malaria genomics initiatives towards sustainable iMMS.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
