World Malaria Day 2008
 In six years, the Global Fund has become the largest source of external financing for malaria control efforts globally, providing almost 70 percent of all international funding for malaria. As of January 2008 the Global Fund had approved 147 malaria grants in 79 countries for a total of US$ 3.7 billion over five years. The results achieved with Global Fund financing of malaria programs, are impressive: by the end of 2007, more than 46 million insecticide treated bed nets had been distributed and more than 44 million malaria treatments had been delivered.

The international community is rising to the challenge of malaria. More people are accessing bed nets and malaria treatment than ever before. Malaria-related sickness and death are falling in a number of key countries. This is due to the hard work of the countries implementing Global Fund-supported programs and the invaluable help of technical partners such as the World Health Organization and the Roll Back Malaria Partnership. But malaria still claims more than a million lives a year. Our challenge is to make bed nets available for everyone at risk of malaria, especially children and pregnant women, and to expand access to the latest treatment.
