Briefings

The INE Cabo Verde reported a 0.18 increase in malaria incidence from 0.11 to 0.29 per 1,000 inhabitants in 2025, reversing the country's 2024 status as OMS-certified malaria-free. This represents the first recorded rise since certification in 2024, with no specific geographic hotspot identified in the provided evidence.

Key points

• Incidence rate increased from 0.11 to 0.29 per 1,000 inhabitants in 2025.
• Cabo Verde was previously certified as OMS malaria-free in 2024.

Context

This finding contradicts the country's 2024 malaria-free certification, indicating a potential resurgence of the disease in Cabo Verde.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to national INE data without geographic breakdowns, age groups, or specific outbreak locations. The evidence does not specify the time period of the 2025 increase, nor does it identify which regions or districts experienced the rise.
