Abu Dhabi: The Government of Abu Dhabi yesterday announced a grant of $25 million (Dh91.8 million), over five years, to support the work of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership (RBM), specifically to scale-up malaria control worldwide and contribute to achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
"We are grateful to the Government of Abu Dhabi for this support. It provides a tangible boost to the RBM Partnership and sends an important message of encouragement," said Executive Director Professor Awa Marie Coll-Seck.
"We have evidence of significant progress in many endemic countries and this funding will have a direct impact upon the capacity of the Partnership to accelerate current advances and ensure that countries move closer to the RBM universal coverage targets and the malaria-related UN Millennium Development Goals."
