UNDP has committed to the following actions, as malaria has important implications for health and poverty. Effective responses will require broad-based support across sectors and the involvement of a range of development partners. Strengthen, through Sustainable Human Development activities, the balance of action among state, private sector, civil society and communities themselves, to ensure that people have access to basic social services and productive assets. Work through the UN Resident Coordinator system to encourage collaborative programming in support of intersectoral action and resource mobilization. The World Bank Group strongly supports the Roll Back Malaria global partnership.
Malaria has a major impact on social and economic development.
Together with Roll Back Malaria partners, the Bank will actively pursue these activities through its country programmes and research agendas. Malaria must be reduced as a negative factor on macro-economic growth. Africa The Roll Back Malaria campaign will focus first on Africa. RBM will support the building of coalitions for action at regional and country level, and assist with development of clear, evidence based action plans at country and regional levels. RBM will develop a systematic approach to monitor progress and results, and broker financial and technical inputs into countries.
