Resolves yes in the case that the WHO or an equivalent organization declares that malaria has been erradicated before 2030.

The WHO is not even aiming at eradication by 2030. Their target is elimination from 30 countries between 2016 and 2030. On the African mainland there are only two malaria-free countries.
Also, the WHO definition of eradication and elimination requires three years without cases. Will this question resolve NO as soon as a malaria case is reported in 2027, making eradication literally impossible?
Despite there being a vaccine available, I don't think that they'll be able to get it sufficiently rolled out to eradicate malaria by 2030. I'm also doubtful that anyone will successfully carry out a mosquito gene drive in the wild, across all of the places that have malaria, by then. There are a lot of countries with malaria to cover in the next seven years.
