Editor’s summary
If the malaria community is to achieve elimination and eradication, the key realization is that this has to be approached with the long-term goal of sustainability. This review could provide a convenient ¿first stop¿ for readers interested in an overview of the requirements and considerations for sustainable malaria control and elimination.

Editor’s summary
It is essential to evaluate correctly the effects of interventions and the haste to implement without a proper baseline has frequently made a quality evaluation impossible. Here, the finding that the prevalence increased, probably due to incomplete reporting in the past, makes it actually impossible to see any effect of the interventions. This makes the results of the study disappointing, although for future evaluations it is good that the issue of data incompleteness will now be further addressed.
