Led by USAID, and implemented jointly with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the  U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) is deeply committed to the elimination of malaria. Launched in 2017 in Côte d’Ivoire, PMI is  partnering with the Government of Côte d’Ivoire to roll out cost-effective, life-saving interventions to reduce malaria cases in communities. These include distribution and promotion of the use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, preventive treatment for pregnant women, prompt diagnosis and early treatment of malaria cases using effective medications, and indoor spraying of houses to reduce mosquito populations.
