Abstract
This report translates the Bank's
corporate commitment into increased efforts to control
malaria. It lays the basis for a Booster Program for Malaria
Control, through which the Bank will make an important
contribution to malaria control in the years ahead. This
effort will be undertaken in support of country-led
programs, and in partnership with community service
organizations, specialized agencies, and financiers of
malaria control at all levels. Consistent with the new
Global Strategic Plan of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership,
the Bank's work will combine measures to increase
coverage of malaria-specific interventions with effective
service delivery, broader health-system development, and
capacity building across multiple sectors. The new business
model combines an emphasis on outcomes with flexibility in
approaches. Products and services related to malaria control
will be tailored to client segments, in order to meet the
needs of countries, and deploy the Bank's comparative
advantages, while strengthening collaboration with partner
agencies, co-financiers, and civil society. In the short to
medium term, the new Booster Program for Malaria Control
will provide increased financing, and technical support to
accelerate program design and implementation, increase
coverage, and improve outcomes rapidly. Henceforth, malaria
control will be mainstreamed into the Poverty Reduction
Strategies, and large sector-development programs that
emphasize outcomes.
