This report assesses progress in making available key interventions to reduce the burden of malaria, particularly across sub-Saharan Africa, where the burden is greatest. Its findings are based on new malaria data that allow for a more comprehensive assessment of progress in malaria control intervention coverage across a large number of countries. The impressive gains made in the fight against malaria across numerous sub-Saharan African countries show that major progress can be achieved - and in a short time. The data presented should be viewed in the rapidly changing context of efforts to scale up malaria control intervention coverage
