Equity and adequacy of international donor assistance for global malaria control: an analysis of populations at risk and external funding commitments
Robert W Snow, Emelda A Okiro, Peter W Gething, Rifat Atun, Simon I Hay

Preview
Funding for malaria control worldwide is 60% lower than the US$4·9 billion needed for comprehensive control in 2010; this includes funding shortfalls for a wide range of countries with different numbers of people at risk and different levels of domestic income. More efficient targeting of financial resources against biological need and national income should create a more equitable investment portfolio that with increased commitments will guarantee sustained financing of control in countries most at risk and least able to support themselves.
