| Tackling malaria requires involvement from all sectors of
society - including you ! |
Recognizing that malaria cannot be defeated by any single agency, the
World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund
(UNICEF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and
the World Bank in 1998 launched the Roll Back Malaria Partnership to
provide a coordinated global approach to tackling the disease.
The RBM Partnership has grown rapidly to include a wide range of
partners—including malaria-endemic countries, their bilateral and
multilateral development partners, the private sector, nongovernmental
and community-based organizations, foundations, and research and
academic institutions—who bring a formidable assembly of expertise,
human resources, infrastructure and funds into the fight against the
disease.
Partners are working together to scale up malaria control efforts at
country level. This means that partners are now coordinating their
activities to avoid fragmentation and duplication and to ensure optimal
use of resources.
