PARTNERSHIPS IN MALARIA CONTROL
IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
Partnerships are necessary to effectively control
malaria in Southern Africa. The partners are broadly

The partnerships have been formed in the spirit

of Health alone. This page gives an overview of
the roles of each partner in malaria prevention
and control.
