Malaria funding and resource utilization: the first decade of Roll Back Malaria Table 5.11. Summary of impact of malaria-control programmes on malaria-associated morbidity and mortality in Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda, the United Republic of Tanzania (Zanzibar), and Zambia. Substantial mortality reductions and a range of morbidity reductions associated with malaria have been recently documented in five countries in the assessment. Table 5.11 summarizes these impressive results, and indicates their association with scaling up key malaria-control interventions in these countries based on increases in recent malaria-control funding. For example, in Zambia, during the period of scaling up multiple malaria-control interventions, malaria-specific mortality declined by 66% and all-cause under-five mortality by 29% between 2001–2002 and 2008.
