MACEPA is infusing new commitment and leadership into the control of malaria, a deadly disease that takes the life of an African child every 30 seconds. MACEPA is partnering with the government of Zambia, the Zambia Roll Back Malaria Parternship, and many regional and global partners committed to accelerating the pace of malaria control in Africa. This eight-minute film, the first of a series, provides an overview of the innovative work in Zambia during its first project year to rapidly scale up efforts to control the disease, including the distribution of 525,000 insecticide-treated bednets.
