By providing unbiased information to the public, the media helps citizens make thoughtful decisions on governance, leadership, and policy priorities for national development.

Improving the health of women and children is a core priority for USAID, including a focus on reducing preventable maternal and perinatal illness and death.

Speech
On behalf of the United States Agency for International Development, it is my pleasure to join you for the Program for the Advancement of Malaria Outcomes (PAMO’s) end-of-project event. I want to begin by acknowledging the project team for their hard work and commitment over the past five years. Preventing, controlling, and treating malaria is a priority under the U.S. government’s foreign assistance strategy. In 2005, the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) was launched to reduce malaria-related mortality across Southern Africa. Led by USAID, and implemented together with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), PMI scales up proven, cost-effective malaria prevention and treatment interventions. Focus interventions include distribution of insecticide-treated nets, indoor residual spraying, prompt diagnosis and treatment, and intermittent preventive treatment of pregnant women.
