The WHO estimations on the burden of malaria do not fully reflect the availability of new tools to fight the diseases nor the multiplicity of parasitological, epidemiology and treatment research- as well as the new thinking on financing- that have been taken place in the last decade. In fact 219 million cases of malaria occur every year around the world and 660.000 people still die – mainly in children under the age of 5.  Moreover, it is evident that current funding levels do not allow for full implementation of the newest and most effective interventions globally: The Roll Back Malaria Partnership estimates that an annual funding gap of about $2.8 billion will need to be filled in order to  to reduce its incidence by 75% and malaria deaths to zero by 2015.
