By meeting these targets, the malaria MDG will be achieved and contributions will be made towards progress on five other MDGs

Zambia: 66% decline in malaria deaths; reached the 2010 target of a more than 50% reduction in malaria mortality compared to 2000 (WHO April 2009)
Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
Achieve universal primary education
Promote gender equality and empower women
Reduce child mortality
Improve maternal health
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Ensure environmental sustainability
Develop a global partnership for development
Integration is Key – MDG 4, 5 & 6 intimately linked
Insecticide treated nets distributed free with routine nationwide immunization campaigns
◦ Provide incentives for women –mothers walk many miles to take part in such campaigns - increasing immunization uptake
◦ Integration of health programmes reduces costs of health delivery
◦ Releases hospital beds e.g. Zambia – health workers able to focus on other health issues
Progress made and success stories at country level: we have the evidence of what works, so let’s do it!
Promote an integrated approach between MDG 4, 5 and 6 to ultimately strengthen health systems
Increase financial resources for malaria and ensure a fully funding Global Fund
MAWG partners have developed a set of key messages

Create more synergies at country level for advocates working on health issues (HIV, TB, malaria, maternal and child health, Abuja…) to have a stronger voice and benefit from each other expertise
Need for countries figures and success stories to share regionally and internationally
Strengthen the capacity of advocates in the South: Advocates in the South and especially in Africa, have a key role to play to put health as a priority in their own country and at regional level + to make their MoH becoming advocates too!
