President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has been elected President of the Africa Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA). The Liberian President was elected by members of ALMA to succeed the founding chair, Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete. The Africa Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) is an alliance of African Heads of State and Government working to end malaria-related deaths.




Addressing a forum of Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, following her election, the Liberian leader praised President Kikwete for his exemplary leadership during his tenure as chairman of the Alliance. The President assured the Alliance that her administration will build upon the progress that has already been made towards the eradication of malaria on the continent.

During the past decade, she said, there has been a 33-percent decline in malaria related deaths throughout Africa. The President attributed much of this to persistent efforts by many African governments, individuals and institutions. President Johnson Sirleaf boosted of a hundred percent decline in the deaths of babies, but insisted that efforts must continue to achieve the desired results.
