AFRO-NETS is about malaria (35)
-------------------------------

Dear Colleagues

One of the problems with health in general in Africa, and ma-
laria in particular is that the financial resources have not
been available to do what is needed.

Accountants... and I am one... like to deal with facts rather
than with opinions. And one fact is that rather little money has
been invested in making best use of medical science and entomol-
ogy and appropriate practical interventions in Africa to achieve
a significant abatement in the mosquito population and reduce
the prevalence of the malaria parasite in the human population.

I hope that the growing interest in the problem of malaria in
Africa will result in appropriate funding for practical work on
the mosquito and malaria problem... the need for anti-malaria
projects with a durable value is clear... the challenge is to
mobilise the funding required, and to ensure that available
funding is then used in a manner that delivers tangible results.

A plan for a comprehensive mosquito and malaria control project
in Monrovia, Liberia has been developed and funding is presently
being sought. The same project components could also be adapted
to other areas where malaria is a serious problem. The aim in
this project is to use 'best practice' and get the most result
for the least amount of money.
