RWANDA
Rwanda is a small country with an estimated population of approximately 12 million, all at risk for malaria. Rwanda made remarkable progress in the fight against malaria from 2005–2012, during which time there was an 86 percent reduction in malaria incidence and a 74 percent reduction in malaria mortality. The goal of the National Malaria Control Program is to reduce malaria mortality by 30 percent by 2020 as a main step toward achieving the vision to reduce malaria burden in order to contribute to Rwanda’s socioeconomic development.
