WHO country representative in The Gambia Dr Thomas Sukwa |
Dr Thomas Sukwa said this amount is in addition to
about US$4.4 billion already mobilised from international partners and African
governments.
Speaking to journalists in Banjul during
a press briefing ahead of the 2013 World Malaria Day on 25 April,
the WHO country representative said there is need for increase in domestic
funding in Africa, where the proportion of domestic funding estimated as part
of overall funding was only 32% in 2011 compared to 43% in Asia and 86% in
Latin America.
“To highlight the funding gap, a campaign for the
three years will be launched on World Malaria Day [2013] under the theme
‘Invest in the Future: Defeat Malaria’,” he said.
History has shown that decrease in financial support
for fighting malaria, particularly in areas where significant progress has been
made, leads to a resurgence of the disease, thereby reversing years of efforts
and investment.
“Therefore, it is crucial that we stay on course as
malaria resurgence will remain a persistent threat until the disease is
eliminated altogether,” Dr Sukwa said.
Successful malaria control is critical to progress
on all the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) - goals 4, 5 and
6 - as well as making significant contribution to progress in other areas
including reducing school absenteeism and fighting poverty.
Evidence has suggested that malaria control has strong
impact on economic growth, providing a powerful incentive for increased
investments.
Therefore, it is essential to maintain focus and
attention on the fight against malaria at this critical moment including
ensuring it is retained through international development framework that will
replace the MDGs, the so-called post-2015 agenda.
For the WHO country representative, Africa has the
opportunity to end preventable childhood deaths and economic instability caused
by malaria.
“The time is now,” he said. “Never have we made so much progress in
fighting the disease, and never have we had so much at stake to lose.”
He pointed out that 2013 is a critical year for
malaria financing.
“We now have the opportunity to work towards ending
malaria once and for all: with sustained
funding we can continue to progress towards ending malaria deaths, but without
it, gains could be quickly reversed, putting millions of lives at risk.”
