However, after more than two decades, health allocations across many countries still fall short of the target. This study uses an expenditure-based proxy for the AD to examine the likelihood and timing of attainment of the benchmark under historical fiscal trajectories.We compiled a 2002–2023 panel for 54 Africa…

High levels of use and expenditure on ITNs and other malaria preventive tools exist. A programmatic challenge will involve designing ways and means of converting some of the inefficient and inappropriate expenditures on many ineffective malaria preventive tools to proven cost-effective methods such as ITNs and IRHS. This will help to achieve universal coverage with malaria preventive tools
