“We are facing a malaria crisis”

What is needed now 

A substantial pivot in the fight against malaria is needed, with increased resourcing, strengthened political commitment, data-driven strategies and innovative tools. Innovation should focus on the development of more efficient, effective and affordable products. 

The added threat of climate change calls for sustainable and resilient malaria responses that align with efforts to reduce the effects of climate change. Whole-of-society engagement is crucial to build integrated approaches.

“If IRS is to remain an important element in an integrated vector control approach for sub-Saharan Africa, alternative insecticides, particularly ones with novel modes of action are urgently needed.”
