The PNG Industry Malaria Initiative (PIMI) was launched in 2013 as a highly innovative PNG industry sector initiative to enlist Papua New Guinea’s major resource sector companies to accelerate implementation of the National Malaria Control Strategy with the further specific goal of achieving malaria elimination by 2050.
The fundamental concept of PIMI is to support major resource operators (energy, mining and agribusiness) in PNG to create public-private partnerships (PPPs) with their host provinces to progress malaria control and eventually drive towards elimination.
The PIMI strategy has had the support of the National Department of Health under its “National Health Sector Partnership Policy” which provides the appropriate policy platform to facilitate the establishment of PPP’s such as PIMI.
The core objective of PIMI is to enlist the country’s major resource sector companies to accelerate the implementation of PNG’s National Malaria Control Strategy.
