Zambia has made significant progress reducing malaria over the past decade decreasing incidence by
over 60% and deaths by about 87% since 2001, prompting the Government of Zambia (GRZ) to launch an
ambitious elimination strategy by 2021. However, current financing falls short of the available resources
and an annual gap of over USD 50 million is anticipated for the years 2019-2021. This has prompted the
GRZ to forge stronger partnerships with the private commercial sector, particularly as malaria
elimination efforts can have a positive economic impact on business revenue. The purpose of this paper
is to provide the economic evidence and inform an advocacy strategy for resource mobilization for the
private sector in Zambia.
