该文件分析了尼日利亚农村地区的疟疾发病率及其对该国努力实现各种国内和全球发展政策蓝图目标的影响。近年来，对全球疟疾控制的人力和财政承诺显著增加，部分原因是需要实现千年发展目标中规定的具体和相关的发展目标。然而，这些努力并没有使该疾病的发病率及其在尼日利亚的影响显著下降。利用疾病成本方法分析疟疾对国家发展的各种尝试的影响，该文件发现，奥约州每年因疟疾发作而损失大量资源和国内产出。这对实现《国家经济赋权和发展战略》的原则和千年发展目标的具体目标产生了严重影响。结果表明，有效控制疟疾能够减少家庭贫困和不平等，同时改善福利和国家发展的各种决定因素。
The paper analyses the incidence of malaria in rural Nigeria and its implication for the country's efforts to meet the targets of various domestic and global development policy blueprints. In recent years, there has been remarkable increase in human and financial commitments to global malaria control, partly due to the need to meet specific and relevant development targets set in the millennium development goals (MDGs). However, these efforts have not translated into a significant decrease in the incidence of the disease and its impact in Nigeria. Using the cost of illness method to analyse the impact of malaria on various attempts at national development, the paper found that substantial resources and domestic output is lost annually to malaria attack in Oyo State. This has serious implications for the achievement of the principles of the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategies (NEEDS) and the MDG target. It is implied from the results that effective control of malaria is capable of reducing household poverty, inequality, while improving various determinants of welfare and national development.
