Using Business to Fight Malaria
By
Ethan Arpi
Over a month ago,
we covered a
New York Times
article on Billiton and its six year effort fighting malaria in Mozambique
.? Now it has come to my attention that
The World Economic Forum
, in collaboration with
Harvard?s School of Public Health
, has released a paper,
Business and Malaria: A Neglected Threat?
which documents the danger that malaria poses to business.? The paper reaffirms the urgency of the situation and suggests that businesses need to step up where inept and corrupt governments have failed and help support the fight against malaria.? Check out the World Bank?s
PSD Blog
for more information.
