Reducing Malaria-Related Morbidity and Mortality in Benin
Malaria is a major challenge in Benin, where the country’s entire population of 12.1 million is at risk of contracting the disease. It remains the leading cause of mortality for children under five and of morbidity for adults. In 2020, there were more than 4.7 million malaria cases and more than 10,000 deaths from the disease.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) Integrated Health Services Activity (IHSA) is implemented by Management Sciences for Health and its partners with funding from the US President’s Malaria Initiative. IHSA supports the Government of Benin in improving malaria control and reducing mortality and morbidity, particularly among children under five.
