unless there is some specific or unspecific environmental damage that takes the mosqitoes out of the equation, its not going away ; these organisms can avoid the immune system and it is hard to create a vaccine for it , so please play this question YES : )

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?

Under the given resolution criteria, it would seem to do so.

I'd bet this to under 5% if it didn't lock up mana for a few months to do so. Malaria's still so common that this is not fully doable in that timeframe.

We still haven't eradicated polio. I don't see a path to eradicating malaria in 7 years.

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.
