Welcome to the Roll Back Malaria Partnership
The Roll Back Malaria Partnership (RBM) was launched in 1998 by the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nation's Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the World Bank to intensify and coordinate global efforts to control malaria. Today, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership has expanded to become the leading global public-private venture for mobilizing action, raising resources, forging consensus and coordinating actors in the worldwide fight against malaria.

RBM partners work together to meet one of the Millennium Development Goals: that malaria will not be a major cause of death or an impediment to social and economic development by the year 2015.
