This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Rwanda statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Rwandan statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Rwandan-specific metadata information.

Indicator available

Malaria incidence per 1,000 population
Indicator description

This indicator measures the number of new malaria cases arising in a given year per 1,000 population.
Geographical coverage

Rwanda
Unit of measurement

Per 1,000 population
Definitions

The incidence of malaria refers to the number of new cases of malaria per 1,000 population per year. In Rwanda, malaria cases are confirmed by microscopic examination or RDT.
Calculations

(Number of new malaria cases / Total population ) * 1,000
Other information

Estimates of malaria incidence are produced through a consultative and analytical process led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and are published annually.
