Drop the Malaria Tax
Drop the Malaria Tax

43 African countries met in Abuja, Nigeria and signed a declaration to implement steps to eradicate malaria. Among the promises made were the removal of all taxes and tariffs on Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs). Yet on the third anniversary of the Abuja Declaration, only 17 countries have removed the tax.
learn
Research and experience prove beyond any doubt that ITNs save lives by preventing new malarial infections.The tax on the nets make them unaffordable to those who need them most and as result millions of children continue to die from malaria which is preventable, treatable and curable.
