UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - World leaders gathered here for an anti-poverty summit on Thursday pledged to commit nearly three billions dollars for an ambitious global plan to drastically cut malaria deaths around the world.
The funds, which include 1.1 billion dollars from the World Bank, will be used to support rapid implementation of the first ever Global Malaria Action Plan (GMAP), a new strategy that can save more than 4.2 million lives between 2008 and 2015, sponsors said.
