Sean Hewitt, May 2014   This paper aims to understand the new malaria initiatives in the Asia Pacific region in context.    Despite an overall improvement in the malaria situation, the burden of disease remains unacceptably high. Control and elimination efforts face a daunting array of challenges, from technical and programmatic issues, political and economic constraints, to the rapidly evolving donor and partner landscape, and environmental changes.   In response to these challenges a new, regionally-led response to malaria has emerged. Although focussed on a specific disease, these developments offer some insight into how the global aid architecture may evolve in future.   Download the paper   This paper is based on an Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) funded report summarising the evidence base to support investing in malaria control and elimination in the Asia Pacific region (Palmer et al, 2013). The report was further developed into this paper by Sean Hewitt and Rebecca Dodd, formerly a member of the Health Resource Facility team.     Related resources Investing in AIDS in Asia: transforming the policy agenda (Feb. 2014) Health care financing in the Asia Pacific region (July 2013) Print Page Log In Sitemap Terms Conditions Accessibility Statement HLSP is a trading name of Mott MacDonald Limited.
