"Saving Lives and Buying Time": Lessons in good subsidy design from the Affordable Medicines Facility - malaria (AMFm)

The document examines the creation of the Affordable Medicines Facility - malaria (AMFm), a subsidy scheme designed to provide more effective treatments and delay parasite resistance. It uses the AMFm process to outline key components of effective subsidy design, such as research, stakeholder engagement, risk mitigation, and monitoring.

• The Affordable Medicines Facility - malaria (AMFm) was developed following a 2004 Institute of Medicine report that advocated for subsidizing treatments to save lives and prevent resistance to active ingredients.
• Effective subsidy design requires several core elements: comprehensive analysis and research, consultations with stakeholders, interventions to address risks and unintended consequences, and a system for monitoring and evaluation.
