The number of children under five years dying from malaria in Kenya has dropped by about three-fold since the introduction of the US President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) indicating a positive trend towards reducing deaths by 21 per 1,000 live births by 2030.
PMI is an initiative of the US State and strives to cut the burden of malaria in 30 countries in Africa, including Kenya, and help ease poverty. It works with partner countries to scale up proven interventions and strengthen local capacity and health systems, and also invest in research and new tools to combat malaria.
