Prepare for World Malaria Day 2025
The RBM Partnership to End Malaria has developed a communication kit to help plan for the upcoming World Malaria Day on April 25th. Below are some of the highlights and links they have shared.
To mark World Malaria Day 2025, the RBM Partnership to End Malaria in collaboration with World Health Organization (WHO) have developed a Messaging Framework and Social Media Toolkit to support partners and individuals in raising awareness and advocating for a malaria-free world.
Objectives for this year include…
- Re-energize efforts at all levels, from global policy to community action, to accelerate progress towards malaria elimination
- Advocate for increased investment in malaria control and elimination programs, including through stepped-up domestic financing and successful replenishments for the Global Fund and Gavi in 2025.
- Promote innovative strategies and approaches to tackle evolving challenges in malaria
- Prioritize country ownership, actively engage communities, and implement data-driven strategies
The emphasis is on three pillars. First in REINVEST, which recognized that “Malaria control and elimination programs don’t just save lives – they’re also a smart economic investment for malaria-endemic countries and their international partners.”
The second pillar calls on us to REIMAGINE. We must Accelerate innovation by investing in the research and development of new and more effective antimalarial drugs, diagnostics, insecticides, vaccines and vector control methods” and turning that research into action.
The third pillar is a call to REIGNITE based on “a renewed sense of urgency and commitment is needed to accelerate the fight against malaria.” This is called the “Big Push against malaria (and) is a multistakeholder effort to drive progress.”
