A/RES/59/256 10. Reiterates the need for expanded public-private partnerships for malaria control and prevention, and in this context urges petroleum companies operating in Africa to consider providing polymer for the manufacture of mosquito nets at reduced prices as a contribution to rolling back malaria in Africa; 11. Calls upon the international community to support investment in the development of new anti-malarial medicines and insecticides for the effective control of malaria in view of the challenging resistance of the parasite to antimalarial medicines and the resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides; 12. Also calls upon the international community to support ways to expand access to artemisinin-based combination therapy for populations at risk of exposure to resistant strains of falciparum malaria in Africa, including the commitment of new funds, innovative mechanisms for the financing and national procurement of artemisinin-based combination therapy and the scaling up of artemisinin production to meet the increased need; 13. Further calls upon the international community to support coordinated efforts to improve surveillance, monitoring and evaluation systems so as to better track and report changes in the coverage of recommended “Roll Back Malaria” interventions and subsequent reductions in the burden of malaria; 14. Requests the Secretary-General, in close collaboration with the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund, developing countries and regional organizations, including the African Union, to conduct in 2005 an evaluation of the measures taken and progress made towards the achievement of the mid-term targets, the means of implementation provided by the international community in this regard and the overall goals of the Decade, and to report thereon to the General Assembly at its sixtieth session; 15. Also requests the Secretary-General to report to the General Assembly at its sixtieth session on the implementation of the present resolution under the agenda item entitled “2001–2010: Decade to Roll Back Malaria in Developing Countries, Particularly in Africa”. 76th plenary meeting 23 December 2004 3
