MALARIA ELIMINATION IN ZANZIBAR - Soper Strategies

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The feasibility assessment described in this report was made possible with the advice and
contributions of many people both within and outside the Zanzibar Malaria Control
Program. Special thanks to the Honorable Minister of Health and Social Welfare Sultan
M Mugheiry, the Principal Secretary Mohamed S Jiddawi and Director General Malick
A Juma, not only for their brave decision to assess the feasibility of malaria elimination
on Zanzibar, but also for their continued support during assessment. The ZMCP
acknowledges the technical advice from many local and international experts and is
grateful to the Clinton Foundation and all those who contributed to the conduct of
the assessment and preparation of this report. This work benefited from the intellectual
leadership provided by the Malaria Elimination Group (malariaeliminationgroup.org),
an entity established and managed by the Global Health Group at the University of
California, San Francisco. The ZMCP would like to acknowledge the UCSF Global
Health Group for providing copyediting and design support to this report. We are also
very grateful to the UCSF Global Health Group and ExxonMobil for providing the
funding that made this assessment possible.
