What does progress look like in the fight against malaria?

Recent years have shown that the path to eradication won't be linear. After achieving historic gains from 2000 to 2015, progress against malaria has since stagnated due to drug and insecticide resistance, climate change, financing gaps, and other threats.

And yet, there are so many reasons to be optimistic about the next chapter in the fight against this ancient disease.

We’re seeing an unprecedented wave of innovation and local-global collaboration in this space in recent years. New vaccines, next-generation bed nets and drugs, and a host of other new malaria tools and strategies are reaching millions of people across Africa, which carries 96% of the global malaria burden. And much of the infrastructure driving these innovations is being built sustainably in Africa — from R&D and manufacturing to local delivery and implementation.

The StoryMap below showcases dozens of local-global partnerships that are designed for sustainable progress towards malaria elimination. We look forward to sharing this StoryMap with key decision makers, technical experts, and media outlets; and we will continue to add new stories to this evergreen map.
