Calls for joint comprehensive efforts between Africa and the international community to ensure that by 2005 the following targets are achieved: (a) At least 60 per cent of those at risk for malaria, in particular pregnant women and children under five years of age, benefit from the most suitable combination of personal and community protective measures, such as insecticidetreated bednets and other interventions that are accessible and affordable, to prevent infection and suffering; (b) At least 60 per cent of all pregnant women who are at risk for malaria, especially those in their first pregnancy, have access to chemoprophylaxis or presumptive intermittent treatment; (c) At least 60 per cent of those suffering from malaria have prompt access to and are able to use correct, affordable and appropriate treatment within twentyfour hours of the onset of symptoms; 11. Reiterates the need to ensure that measures to reduce the risk of malaria transmission, including source reduction and environmental management, such as ways to minimize mosquito breeding sites associated with existing and new development projects, are included in development planning and activities; 12. Requests the Secretary-General, acting in close collaboration with the Director-General of the World Health Organization, 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; 13. Also requests the Secretary-General to report to the General Assembly at its fifty-eighth session on the implementation of the present resolution. 79th plenary meeting 20 December 2002 3
