Since 2000, over 6.8 million lives have been saved from malaria. Ending malaria is a critical component of the Sustainable Development Goals. Malaria is a multi-sector issue with significant short and long-term effects. It causes children to miss school, and deteriorates human capital and local economies. Eliminating malaria in any region of the world subsequently leads to increased rates of matriculation in education, economic reinvestments from education rates, development of local economies, and more.
