We’re honoured to be featured by 72 Dragons Health in this video that highlights the history of Malaria Consortium and the impact we've achieved over more than 20 years.

From community-based care to protecting millions of children through seasonal malaria chemoprevention, it reflects our work helping communities to thrive through strong partnerships, research and on-the-ground action.

World Malaria Day may have passed, but the fight against malaria is far from over.

Over the last 20 years, proven interventions have helped save millions of lives. Yet today, drug and insecticide resistance, funding gaps and changing transmission patterns threaten to reverse hard-won progress.

In a new op-ed, Malaria Consortium Chief Executive James Tibenderana explains why stronger surveillance is critical to staying ahead of malaria — helping health systems detect outbreaks earlier, track resistance and direct resources where they can have the greatest impact. Successes in countries like Cambodia and Ethiopia show what's possible when communities, data and action come together.

Every day, malaria continues to claim lives — most of them young children. But there is still time to make a difference.

We took big steps to improve the lives of people in southern Ethiopia living with a painful disease. 👣

🌋 Podoconiosis is caused when bare feet are exposed to volcanic soils, leading to lower-leg swelling. The disease affects around 1.5 million people in Ethiopia alone.

Through our Happy Feet project with Ministry of Health,Ethiopia, National Podoconiosis Action Network - NaPAN and Action on Podoconiosis and Integrated Development Organisation, we worked across S**o Zuria and Offa districts to provide education, treatment and protective footwear — helping people to manage the disease, regain their mobility and live lives free from stigma.

🖥️ On 9–10 June, join an Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN) online workshop exploring how entomological surveillance and the systematic use of vector data can strengthen control through better decision-making and more targeted interventions.

Led by Professor Neil Lobo University of Notre Dame and UCSF) and moderated by our Senior Vector Control Specialist, Professor Leo Braack, the course will introduce practical approaches to identifying programme challenges, defining data requirements and designing systems that generate useful evidence.

Participants will also learn how to analyse vector surveillance findings and translate them into actionable insights for malaria programmes.

As cities grow and the climate changes, malaria risk is becoming more complex. 🦟🌍

The BEDMAC project is building evidence on how climate, health and the built environment interact to influence malaria transmission.

🏙️ As part of the wider research team, we are working with researchers and institutions across Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Panama, Tanzania and the US to explore how environmental, social and technological factors affect malaria transmission — and to help develop tools and strategies that can be replicated and scaled to support healthier, more climate-resilient cities.

How can climate and health information be used to predict and respond to outbreaks more effectively? 🦟🌍

That was the focus of a five-day workshop in Juba, South Sudan, organised by Malaria Consortium recently.

Bringing together representatives from the Ministry of Health - Republic of South Sudan, National Meteorological Department, National Malaria Control Program, HISP Tanzania and other partners, the workshop explored how this information can strengthen early warning and response systems.

A key focus was implementing a DHIS2-based Climate Health Analytics Platform (CHAP), designed to forecast malaria outbreaks up to three months in advance.

The workshop marked an important step towards a more coordinated, data-driven malaria response.

In a new article published on Global Health Otherwise, our Chief Executive, James Tibenderana, explains why malaria elimination is ultimately a systems challenge, and not just a question of scaling interventions.

As transmission falls, malaria becomes harder to see and the risk shifts. Small gaps, such as a missed case or a delayed response, can quickly reverse progress.

Uganda’s new Malaria Elimination Strategic Plan 2026–2030 reflects this shift, setting an ambitious target of zero malaria deaths and a 75 percent reduction in cases by 2030.

Sustaining progress will depend on trusted systems, strong community engagement and the ability to act quickly — even when malaria is no longer visible.

Last week, two meetings highlighted the critical need to strengthen global health systems by promoting locally led solutions and deepening partnerships. 🌍

The Global Partnerships Conference in London brought together governments, civil society and the private sector to discuss sustainable finance, technology and shifting decision-making closer to communities.

While at the 79th World Health Assembly in Geneva, global health leaders discussed shared priorities — like pandemic preparedness — and the commitments needed for collective action.

As funding pressures grow, these conversations are more important than ever if we’re to meet today’s health needs while preparing for tomorrow’s threats. ✨

What can countries do to protect hard-won gains in malaria prevention as funding pressures grow and issues like drug resistance emerge? 🦟🌍

These were key questions at the first joint annual meeting of the Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) Alliance and the Alliance for Malaria Prevention (AMP), held in Kampala, Uganda this February.

Read our takeaways in our blog ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21x2Rof

More than 300 delegates from over 30 countries gathered to share experiences and strengthen malaria prevention across Africa. As a leading SMC implementer, Malaria Consortium contributed insights from integration and digitalisation to antimalaria drug resistance — all key to reaching children most at risk.

A clear message emerged: sustaining impact will depend on evidence-led decisions, context-specific integration of services and continued investment in strong community health systems.

The meeting also marked the SMC Alliance’s transition to the Malaria Chemoprevention Alliance — a strategic shift aimed at addressing malaria prevention access gaps throughout a child’s life.
