World Mosquito Day, observed globally on August 20th, serves as a critical reminder of the urgent need for investment and political commitment in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases, particularly malaria and dengue.
On World Mosquito Day 2025, the RBM Partnership to End Malaria and its partners call for increased investments to eliminate mosquito-borne diseases, specifically malaria and dengue, which disproportionately impact women and girls. These diseases have a profound impact on women and girls, affecting their health and economic stability, leading to a significant loss in productivity and income. The challenges highlight the complex intersections of malaria and dengue with broader issues such as gender inequality, infrastructure challenges, and the climate crisis. Addressing these intersections is crucial for creating effective, comprehensive solutions. This includes allocating resources and implementing targeted interventions in vulnerable regions. Engaging communities is crucial to ensuring equitable access to malaria prevention and treatment, ultimately supporting the broader goal of malaria and dengue eradication.
This toolkit provides a range of messages and materials for partners to use to inform World Mosquito Day activities and support on social media.

Progress is possible but we need united action NOW. As part of @RBMPartnership, we’re uniting governments, communities, and innovators to protect hard-won gains and reach #ZeroMalaria.
Malaria is preventable, treatable, and beatable. Yet it still threatens half the world.
This #WorldMalariaDay, we celebrate progress, but the fight isn’t over. We call on leaders to:

This #WorldMosquitoDay, we reaffirm our commitment to a malaria-free world. Despite significant progress with 2.1 billion cases averted since 2000, malaria continues to disproportionately affect vulnerable communities, fueled by climate change, conflict, and health system gaps.
The RBM Partnership to End Malaria unites over 500 partners to drive action where it’s needed most. We stand with governments, civil society, and private-sector innovators to:
- Accelerate access to lifesaving tools (bed nets, vaccines, diagnostics)
- Strengthen health systems to reach marginalized populations
- Mobilize resources to close the $3.8 billion annual funding gap
The theme “Accelerating the Fight Against Malaria for a More Equitable World” reminds us that defeating malaria requires equitable investment and cross-border collaboration. Now is the time for bold leadership.
