US Malaria Funding Generates $90 Billion Economic Boost in Recipient Countries

A new analysis by Oxford Economics Africa, commissioned by Malaria No More, has revealed that U.S. malaria investment has yielded a $90.3 billion GDP increase in recipient countries over the past 20 years.

This translates to a 5.8-fold return on every dollar invested in malaria control.

A similar analysis finds that achieving global malaria reduction targets by 2030 would increase international trade and U.S. exports.

Malaria is a public health challenge that leads to a reduction in the workforce and slows the economy.

Initiatives focused on fighting malaria and reducing its transmission are crucial for improving quality of life and fostering economic growth.

From 2003 to 2023, the U.S. disbursed $15.6 billion for malaria control through the Global Fund and the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). It helped prevent 646.4 million malaria cases at an average cost of US$24.11.
