What has been a key achievement for you?

A key achievement has been to increase the visibility of Malaria Consortium’s activities, including encouraging more malaria-related articles to be covered by radio and television programmes – which has led to a group of journalists setting up a Malaria Media Network. Malaria Consortium has achieved high-level recognition for its expertise, while the project works as an umbrella for dissemination of good practice.

Why are you passionate about tackling malaria?

My goal is to support the reduction of mortality from malaria and to give rural areas a reason to believe in life.  I have great job satisfaction!  The biggest reward of my work is to know I am contributing to the creation of the shoulders for others to stand on.’

What is special to you about the Malaria Consortium?

The space this organization provides for innovation and creativity, as well as the ability and experience of staff members to transform policy and to take concrete actions to achieve success in the fight against malaria.
