An economist has warned that global efforts to combat
\n malaria are on the verge of collapse as scarce international donor funds
\n were being used to fight AIDS instead. Malaria is estimated to kill more
\n than 1-million people each year, most of whom are children in sub-Saharan
\n Africa. Mr Sachs, speaking to journalists during an international teleconference
\n said that international donors were not living up to their promises to
\n help combat malaria. To make matters worse, he said, AIDS took the lion's
\n share of donor funding. For example, the UN Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and
\n Malaria, had committed only 22m for malaria programmes during its first
\n round of funding (out of a total of 616m committed). Sachs also lashed
\n out at the World Bank for failing to meet its commitment to raise $500m
\n to help eradicate malaria. “The situation is paradoxical. Knowing
\n what to do insecticide coated bed nets alone could save millions of lives
\n and we even have new organisational funds, but the pieces have not come
\n together to produce results,” said Sachs. Sachs said that malaria
\n cost the African economy more than $12bn a year, and that the disease
\n could be controlled for $2-3bn annually.<\/p>\n
