Officials say that if the government and international partners can effectively co-operate, they can greatly reduce the prevalence of cholera in the southern African country, where it has killed at least 1 700 people over the past three years.

Partners include the World Health Organisation (WHO), and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.

In a statement, Minister of Health Khumbize Kandodo-Chiponda said, “The goal of the plan is to reduce the annual cholera rate by 90% and achieve the case fatality rate of less than 1% by the year 2030, as recommended by WHO.”
