*World Bank Matrix (Malaria Booster Program) - An Analysis for Africa Fighting Malaria*

*Dr Roger Bate*

Africa Fighting Malaria is concerned that the World Bank's malaria program does not comply with WHO technical guidelines. The shortcomings of the World Bank's program were exposed by Attaran et al in the Lancet in April 2006 and again by AEI's Roger Bate in a recent working paper.  Here, Roger Bate looks at the World Bank's malaria matrix.  AFM welcome's the bank's attempts to measure the effectiveness of their malaria spending, but as Dr Bate discusses, we have concerns about the quality of data as well as the logic behind the World Bank compiling this information.  Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a logical division of labor between the World Bank and the World Health Organisation and other Roll Back Malaria partners.
