The fight against malaria is at a crossroads. After decades of historic progress, new threats—including reductions in international funding, drug and insecticide resistance and mutations that evade detection—are increasing the risk for widespread malaria resurgence.
But we are not unprepared for this moment. The America First Global Health Strategy recommits the U.S. to achieving the globally agreed goals against malaria by 2030 while accelerating transitions toward greater country ownership.
Our new report, co-published with United to Beat Malaria and Malaria No More, outlines principles and pathways to support a successful implementation of the America First Global Health Strategy for malaria, including insights from country case-studies from El Salvador, Indonesia, Mozambique, Nigeria and Tanzania.
If transitions are data-driven, evidence-based and tailored to country capacity, this approach could propel us to the future we all want—in which national governments and their partners can lead the effort to protect their own citizens so no one dies from a mosquito bite.
