◦ Achieve universal coverage by 2010;
◦ Reduce global malaria burden by 50% in 2010;
◦ Reduce global malaria deaths to near zero in
2015;
◦ Eliminate malaria where possible; and
◦ In the long term, eradicate malaria worldwide
through progressive elimination in countries
By meeting these targets, the malaria MDG will be achieved and
contributions will be made towards progress on five other MDGs
1. Keep malaria high in the global agenda
2. Ensure future funding for countries
3. Make the money work for effective
implementation
4. Ensure quality reporting on country progress

Achieve universal primary education
Promote gender equality and empower women
Reduce child mortality
Improve maternal health
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Ensure environmental sustainability
Develop a global partnership for development
Insecticide treated nets distributed free

mothers walk many miles to take
part in such campaigns - increasing
immunization uptake
◦
Integration of health programmes
reduces costs of health delivery

Releases hospital beds e.g. Zambia –
health workers able to focus on other
health issues

 Create
more synergies at country level for advocates
working on health issues (HIV, TB, malaria, maternal
and child health, Abuja…) to have a stronger voice
and benefit from each other expertise

Need for countries figures and success stories to
share regionally and internationally
 Strengthen
the capacity of advocates in the South:
Advocates in the South and especially in Africa, have a key role to
play to put health as a priority in their own country and at regional
level + to make their MoH becoming advocates too!
