“Businesses have very strong competencies in areas that are crucial for effective malaria control,” comments Professor Awa Marie Coll-Seck, Executive Secretary of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership. “These guidelines are an excellent tool to help translate those competencies into positive results – both for fighting malaria, as well as for improving the business environment in Africa.”
Currently, governments undertake a large portion of malaria control efforts. However, many governments lack the resources for effective prevention and treatment, creating a need for greater private sector involvement. Recognition of malaria as a serious workplace issue is vital to the long-term productivity and efficiency of African businesses, which ultimately impacts the health and prosperity of the wider continent.
