AFM note: AFM welcomes new support for malaria control initiatives and given the trust and reach that many churches have in African countries, they seem like an obvious choice to manage insecticide treated net campaigns. However, AFM is disappointed, yet again, that philanthropists and faith-based groups choose to support only ITN campaigns. Malaria control is about much more than just giving away ITNs. Indoor spraying activities need support and most African countries need to train and employ medical entomologists - why not provide funding for these crucial and life-saving activities when there is already so much support for ITNs?
