The E2025 initiative launched by WHO is against which disease?

Concept: WHO brands its disease-elimination drives with distinct campaign names, not a single umbrella label -- so the name itself is a strong clue to the target disease. "E-" prefixed year names (E-2020, later expanded to E-2025) are specifically WHO's malaria-elimination framework, naming countries with a realistic shot at zero indigenous cases by that year.

Application:

1. In 2016 WHO launched the "E-2020 initiative", identifying 21 countries with the potential to eliminate malaria transmission by 2020.

2. On 21 April 2021 WHO expanded this framework and launched the "E-2025" initiative, naming 25 countries with the potential to eliminate malaria by 2025.

3. The initiative's own naming convention ("E" + target year) is unique to WHO's malaria-elimination programme.

Cross-check: Other diseases run under differently-named WHO/global programmes: polio's global drive is the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), TB's is the End TB Strategy (targets 2030/2035), and smallpox was already declared globally eradicated in 1980. None of these carry the "E-2025" label, confirming Malaria as the disease E2025 targets.
