The main purpose of the Subregional Networks (SRNs) of RBM partners is to coordinate timely support from partners to countries regarding technical, operational and systemic issues and support acceleration in the scaling-up of effective malaria intervention packages. RBM Partners engaged in SRNs have a regional or subregional institutional mandate for country support. They develop a joint work-plan responding to identified country capacity gaps. They ensure dissemination and promotion of RBM Working Group consensus statements.

Currently there are four subregional networks - all in Africa. They are: Central Africa Regional Network (CARN); East Africa Regional Network (EARN); Southern African Regional Network (SARN) and West Africa Regional Network (WARN). The countries in each network are presented in the map.
