2007 Summary Malaria Program (PDF)
The following is the first summary of the proceedings of the Carter Center's Malaria Control Program. In 2006, at the invitation of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, The Carter Center joined Ethiopia's national effort to provide protection to all 50 million Ethiopians at-risk for malaria through an ambitious plan to distribute long lasting insecticidal nets throughout all malarious areas by the end of 2007. The Carter Center was also asked to help in national efforts to monitor and evaluate the progress and success of the national control program itself. The program builds on existing Carter Center programmatic networks in parts of Ethiopia while working closely with the Ministry of Health's extensive malaria control program at national, regional and local levels.
