The United Nations Development Programme  (UNDP), the Roll Back Malaria Partnership (RBM) and other partners developed the Multisectoral Action Framework for Malaria to consolidate the evidence on the many interfaces between the non-health sectors, malaria transmission and the possibilities for responding to the disease. The framework builds on the body of knowledge that shows how endemic malaria disappeared from most of northern Europe and North America as general social and economic development took hold, including better and less crowded housing, improved land drainage and stronger health systems.
