A child dies almost every minute from malaria. While huge gains have been made in recent history in reducing the burden of malaria -- with deaths falling by 50 percent between 2000 and 2015 -- progress has stalled and we have seen the numbers of cases and deaths creeping back up in recent years.

Achieving malaria elimination is a moving target, in more ways than one.

Available funding for malaria is off target. In 2022, a total of US$ 4.1 billion was invested globally in malaria response against the required target of US$ 7.8 billion. While multilateral and international funding is vital to driving down the global malaria burden, the funding gap, which currently stands at $3.7 billion, continues to widen.

Ahead of this year's World Malaria Day, we want to galvanise the conversation, bringing together partners in malaria and global health to explore how endemic countries can secure and enhance the impact of philanthropic investment and how we can build collaborative partnerships between philanthropy, governments, multilaterals and civil society around the malaria elimination agenda.
