: Among 605 suspected malaria cases with a mean age of 17 (SD=±15) years, the overall attack rate was 16.85/1000 population with the highest attack rate between 5-14 years age (29.4 per 1000) and 389(64.3%) were confirmed by laboratory tests. The predominant plasmodium species was P. falcifarum (343/389, 88.2%). Staying outside overnight (AOR=5.09, 95% CI: 2.24-11.5, p&amp;lt; 0.0001), people reside around uncovered water storage (AOR=3.17, 95%CI: 1.36-7.4, p&amp;lt;0.008), community around  stagnant water (AOR=4.48, 95%CI: 2.0-9.9, p&amp;lt;0.001) and presence of rivers closes to the residents(&amp;lt;1km)(AOR= 4.3, 95% CI:  (1.5-12.0, p&amp;lt;0.005 ) were statistically associated with malaria.
