Report: Independent Evaluation of the Phase 1 of the Affordable Medicines Facility - malaria (AMFm), Multi-Country Evaluation Report: Final Report
The goal of AMFm is to improve access to artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), the most effective anti-malaria treatment. The AMFm pilot phase was launched in April 2009 and began operations in July 2010. It set out to increase availability, particularly through private outlets where most people seek their treatments, and drive down the price of ACTs through a factory-gate global subsidy of ACTs combined with country-level measures to support its implementation.
