Whereas funding for the control of malaria has increased ten-
fold since 2000 in large part due to funding under the 
President’s Malaria Initiative (a United States Govern-
ment initiative designed to cut malaria deaths in half in 
target countries in sub-Saharan Africa), the Global Fund 
to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the World 
Bank, and new financing by other donors; 
Whereas in just 18 months, the President’s Malaria Initiative 
has purchased over one million artemisinin-based com-
bination therapies (ACT), protected over three million 
people through spraying campaigns, and distributed over 
one million insecticide-treated bed nets; the Global Fund 
to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has distributed 
18 million bed nets to protect families from malaria and 
provided 5.3 million malaria patients with ACTs; and the 
World Bank’s Booster Program is scheduled to commit 
approximately $500 million in International Development 
Association funds for malaria control in Africa; 
Whereas public and private partners are developing effective 
and affordable drugs to treat malaria, with more than 23 
types of malaria vaccines in development; 
Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, vector control, or the prevention of malaria 
transmission via anopheles mosquitoes, which includes a 
combination of methods such as insecticide-treated bed 
nets, indoor residual spraying, and source reduction (lar-
val control), has been shown to reduce severe morbidity 
and mortality due to malaria in endemic regions; 
Whereas insecticide-treated bed nets have been shown to re-
duce all-cause mortality by about 20 percent in commu-
nity-wide trials in several African settings;
•HRES 389 EH 
Whereas in Africa, where 90 percent of malaria deaths occur, 
many of those suffering most from malaria—the rural 
poor—cannot afford even the modest cost ($5) of an in-
secticide-treated bed net; 
Whereas a malaria-free future will rely on a comprehensive 
approach addressing the range of health, development, 
and economic challenges facing developing countries; and 
Whereas April 25 of each year is recognized internationally 
as Africa Malaria Day and in the United States as Ma-
laria Awareness Day: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of Malaria Aware-

serve this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies,
