Partnerships for malaria control: engaging the formal and informal private sectors

A review commissioned by TDR in collaboration with the Working Group on Financing and Resources of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, chaired by The World Bank. TDR/GEN/06.1

The review, carried out by the HLSP Institute in 2006, discusses the key strategic options for private sector engagement in order to scale up malaria prevention and treatment.

It presents the market and policy context of nets, insecticide treatment and antimalarial drugs, and summarises the evidence regarding access and equity issues. The bulk of the evidence presented comes from sub-Saharan Africa due to the abundance of literature. Country experiences are used to illustrate strategic options, integrated approaches and PPP arrangements in specific market contexts.

The development of this document was led by the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) at the World Health Organization (WHO).
