Financing for Malaria Elimination

Financing for Malaria Elimination

In recent years, a number of countries have made considerable progress in reducing the burden of malaria and at present, 34 countries are in the malaria elimination phase. These countries are mostly high or middle-income countries and therefore have not been the focus of traditional bilateral and multilateral donors.  Nevertheless, they require a certain level of financial support to achieve elimination, prevent resurgence, and support larger goals of regional elimination and global eradication.  In this context, our report makes recommendations on appropriate new financing mechanisms as well as opportunities to strengthen existing financing mechanisms for malaria elimination.
