• Description:
  The U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) is a U.S. Government initiative established in 2005 to sharply decrease malaria deaths by scaling up proven interventions. PMI is an interagency initiative led by ; the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented together with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). PMI works in 19 sub-Saharan Africa countries, where malaria exacts its greatest human toll, and the Greater Mekong Subregion, where resistance to the most effective malaria treatment drugs has already appeared. ; In each PMI country/region, two PMI resident advisors (one each from CDC and USAID), supported by other in-country staff and teams at CDC and USAID headquarters, work with host country governments ; to support implementation of national malaria control program (NMCP) plans. PMI teams develop annual malaria operational plans; participate in national malaria partner coordination mechanisms; and assist in the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of program activities. ; Because of PMI and its global partners, more people ; than ever have access to life-saving malaria interventions. The World Health Organization (WHO) 2015 World Malaria Report documents that global intervention scale-up was associated with more than 6.8 million lives saved from 2000 through 2015. ; CS277411 ; cdc_and_pmi_508.pdf
