Abstract
The World Bank has an annual budget of US$20 billion, and is the largest organization operating
with a mission to reduce poverty worldwide. Malaria destroys about 1 million lives a year; the
disease is the leading parasitic cause of death for Africa's children and impoverishment for their
families. Here we examine how these factors meet in the new Global Strategy & Booster
Program, which is the Bank's plan for controlling that disease in 2005–10.
