KEY OUTCOMES

The key recommendations of Forum V are synthesized in the Yaoundé Call to Action, a document in which RBM Partners and other stakeholders express their commitment to work together to rapidly scale up actions against malaria and accelerate the implementation of the RBM Global Strategic Plan 2005 – 2015, holding each other accountable to its resource needs, targets and timelines.

The RBM partners committed themselves to the following priority actions:

• National governments should continue to develop national plans for scaled up action, linked to health and development plans, through participatory mechanisms, and establish broad based national coordinating mechanisms and scale up programmes.
• In supporting national governments, all other RBM partners, consistent with principles agreed in Paris in March 2005, should base their overall support on countries’ national strategies and implement, where feasible, common arrangements at country level for planning, funding, disbursement, monitoring, evaluating and reporting to government on activities, progress and impact.
• We shall rapidly establish monitoring mechanisms to ensure mutual accountability to these commitments, and joint review of our progress towards them.
