Zambia

SUMMARY
 
Zambia had a population of 10.5 million in 2004, with about 86% of the population below the poverty line. The GDP per capita is US$800. Zambia is a low-income country with low levels of disposable income.

Mothers lined up for NetMark vouchersMalaria is endemic throughout the country, with about 15% of the total population at risk of stable endemic malaria. It accounts for 40% of all outpatient attendance and is responsible for 6.8 million disability adjusted life-years lost. The National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) outlines insecticide treated nets (ITNs) as a key strategy for malaria control. The NMCP has planned various awareness programs for ITNs and has assisted in waiving taxes for nets for the employer-based scheme. According to NetMark research, net ownership is estimated at 50% for mosquito nets and 33.5% for ITNs. There are currently several Non-Governmental Organizations engaged in the provision of treated nets and a large unsubsidized employer based scheme in operation.
