Answer 1

The correct answer is option C.   Years of civil war have left the government unable to respond to malaria outbreaks.   The government in Sierra Leone has wasted all its financial resources during the long civil war.   National Malaria Plan which has been in place since the last decade has managed to invest some money in malaria control and save some lives.
