Malaria remains a significant public health issue in Burundian rural communities, with varying levels of transmission and drug resistance posing challenges to effective prevention strategies. The review utilised a comprehensive search strategy across multiple databases, including PubMed and Web of Science, with inclusion criteria based on study design and relevance to the topic. Studies were screened and evaluated based on predefined quality assessment tools. Community mobilization programmes showed an average reduction in malaria prevalence by 15% over two years, though effectiveness varied across different regions due to varying socio-economic factors and environmental conditions. Despite some promising results from community-based interventions, the emergence of drug resistance strains necessitates a multi-faceted approach that combines enhanced surveillance with targeted public health initiatives. Burundi should prioritise the integration of digital health platforms for real-time monitoring of malaria cases and implement regular training programmes for healthcare workers in anti-malarial treatment protocols to combat drug resistance effectively. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
