Zambezi Expedition

The RBM Zambezi Expedition is a two-month voyage on the Zambezi River to showcase successes and highlight challenges associated with the fight against malaria across the six countries of the Trans-Zambezi region. It will help to voice each country’s unique story of struggle and success while rallying government and public support for a common Zambezi-wide malaria control strategy that is currently in the making. By exposing the difficulties of delivering prevention and treatment tools in Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, the RBM Zambezi Expedition will demonstrate that only a coordinated cross-border action can force the disease to recoil - echoing well the 2008 global World Malaria Day theme - Malaria - a disease without borders.
