Selected routine indicator cut-offs to categorize these indicators into risk groups at ward level

Prevalence in school children	Very low risk (PfPR5–16 < 1%)	Low risk (PfPR5–16 1 to < 5%)	Moderate risk (PfPR5–16 5 to < 30%)	High risk (PfPR5–16 ≥ 30%)
Laboratory-based results
1. Fever test positivity rate	< 5	5 to < 15	15 to < 30	≥ 30
2. Annual parasite incidence	< 10	10 to < 50	50 to < 120	≥ 120
Antenatal clinic results
3. Test positivity rate	< 0.8	0.8 to < 3	3 to < 8	≥ 8
