Malaria: Countries
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) supports malaria control and prevention programs on three continents (Africa, Asia and South America). It has programs in 28 countries, 17 of these are in Africa. USAID’s Mekong Regional Initiative covers Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, and its Amazon Malaria Initiative covers Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela. USAID also has a malaria program in the Philippines.
On December 14, 2006, at the White House Summit on Malaria, President Bush announced eight additional target countries under the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) – Ghana, Madagascar, Mali, Zambia, Kenya, Liberia, Ethiopia, and Benin. Links to all 15 target country profiles are below (each PMI target country is identified in bold).
