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.

As our World Malaria Day campaign comes to a close, one thing remains clear: no child should be at risk from a preventable and treatable disease. 💙

Across malaria-affected communities, families are still struggling to access the healthcare they need to keep their children safe. That’s why we work alongside local communities, governments and health workers to bring trusted, life-saving care directly to those who might otherwise be missed.

For many families, a visit from a community health worker means:

🩺 malaria testing and treatment
🦟 protection through mosquito nets and prevention tools
🛖 trusted healthcare closer to home
❤️ more children protected from serious illness.

Just £75 can help support a health worker to reach underserved communities with the care families rely on most.

Together, we can help ensure more children grow up healthy, protected and able to thrive.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, shared and stood with us throughout this campaign so far. There is still more to do — and every contribution makes a difference.

Malaria is preventable. Malaria is treatable. And yet it still takes hundreds of thousands of lives every year — most of them young children.

The good news is that progress is possible. Together, we’ve already helped save millions of lives through mosquito nets, vaccines, rapid tests, preventive medicines and community healthcare.

💊 In 2025 alone, Malaria Consortium reached 23.5 million children with life-saving malaria prevention medicines.

But too many families are still missing out simply because healthcare is too far away or arrives too late.

In many rural communities, parents can face long journeys to reach treatment for a sick child. By bringing healthcare directly into communities, we can help more children get the protection and treatment they deserve.

Every share, donation and conversation helps keep this momentum going. Watch our campaign video and help us continue the fight against malaria. ❤️

As global health funding declines, how do we protect decades of progress against malaria?

At the 2nd Caixin London Atlantic Dialogue on 7 May in Canary Wharf, London, Malaria Consortium Principal Advisor, Tarekegn Abeku, joined experts from the International Committee of the Red Cross, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Tsinghua University for a roundtable to discuss the future of global health and development.

With official development assistance falling by 23 percent — the steepest decline on record — Tarekegn highlighted the urgent need to sustain investment in malaria control and elimination efforts.

His message was clear: investing in malaria is not only a humanitarian imperative, but a strategic investment in stronger economies, resilient health systems and healthier communities worldwide.

We’re helping protect millions of people in Nigeria from malaria with life-saving mosquito nets! 🦟

Together with national and state partners, Malaria Consortium will deliver more than 16 million insecticide-treated nets through door-to-door campaigns across Abia, Borno, the Federal Capital Territory and Kogi — reaching over 27 million people.

The project will distribute dual-insecticide nets designed to help tackle growing insecticide resistance, while digital tools will support household registration and campaign monitoring to ensure communities are reached effectively.

By gathering reliable data on net ownership, access, use and durability, this work will help inform stronger, evidence-based malaria control in Nigeria — supporting communities to stay protected over time.

Strong malaria control depends on better surveillance systems, and global collaboration plays a vital role in building them. 🦟🌍

In March, more than 2,300 malaria professionals, researchers and programme leaders from 111 countries joined the annual APMEN Online Training on Malaria Vector Surveillance — a trusted learning space where science, operational experience and collaboration come together.

The training (co-hosted by APMEN and Malaria Consortium) was led by Professor Neil Lobo, Research Professor at the University of Notre Dame and the University of California, San Francisco, and moderated by Dr Leo Braack, Senior Vector Control Specialist at Malaria Consortium.

Sessions combined hands-on learning with global knowledge-sharing to help strengthen more effective, evidence-based vector control programmes around the world.

Our Country Surveillance, Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Coordinator, Aweno Norman, will be giving a lightning talk at the DHIS2 Annual Conference.

He will explore how the DHIS2 Tracker app is helping to improve the management of illnesses such as malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhoea in South Sudan.

Read his abstract below. ⬇️

Coming up at DAC2026: Aweno Norman from the Malaria Consortium: https://buff.ly/P6eF9ih
