Malaria Advocacy

Mobilising parliamentarians, media and civil society in both developed and developing countries in the fight against malaria and other communicable diseases

Malaria Consortium’s advocacy work aims to reduce the human and economic burden of malaria by influencing policy and action both in developed and developing countries.

We enable, support, and strengthen African and European Coalitions Against Malaria to develop links between and within the North and the South. We assist malaria advocates and activists in Europe and Africa by providing tools and information and we engage with peers and policy influencers worldwide to affect positive and pro-poor change in health sector development.

The Malaria Consortium advocacy team engages non-governmental and community-based organisations to create a new generation of malaria champions and activists who are well resourced. We are also helping to unify civil society voice and action to ensure that more vulnerable groups receive effective prevention and treatment interventions.

To find out more please visit our advocacy websites for greater detail on the initiatives with which we are and have been associated.
