Thought leadership in action at the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria: Philanthropy panel discussion

At the 8th Multilateral Initiative on Malaria Conference, Malaria Consortium convened a high-level discussion, bringing together panelists from Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Impact Santé Afrique, the Rwanda Ministry of Health, GiveWell and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to discuss how philanthropic partnerships can bring us closer to a malaria elimination.

Philanthropy plays a critical role in driving down the burden of malaria in Africa, but it has significant untapped potential. Alongside multilateral and bilateral funding, philanthropy's unique ability to take risks, mobilise flexible financing and foster innovative partnerships can complement traditional development assistance and help us achieve the goal of malaria elimination.

“The moral imperative to end malaria could not be stronger, with multiple threats such as critical financial gaps and climate change. Philanthropy presents unique opportunities to identify new funding to create additional and sustained impact to end the malaria scourge.”
Dr James Tibenderana, Chief Executive, Malaria Consortium

Celebrating Malaria Consortium’s
20-year anniversary at ASTMH 2023

For two decades, using malaria as an entry point, Malaria Consortium has strengthened knowledge, skills and resources across health systems and within communities.

In 2023, we celebrated our 20th anniversary and legacy of commitment to health for all. We held celebrations across our country offices, with a special launch event held at the 2023 American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) Conference in Chicago.

“Twenty years of relentless dedication have shown us that the fight against malaria is not just a battle against a disease, but a journey towards stronger communities, empowered by knowledge and innovation.”
Dr Godfrey Magumba, Director of East and Southern Africa Programmes
