Re-posting this as a reminder: progress is possible. 🌍✨ 48 countries and territories are now malaria-free. But progress isn’t guaranteed. We must continue to invest in malaria and the @globalfund to reach #ZeroMalaria. #StopAtNothing

According to the #WorldMalariaReport 2025, global #malaria funding fell to just US$3.9B in 2024 - less than 1/2 of what’s needed. ODA also dropped 21%, leading to weakened surveillance, cancelled surveys, stock-outs & delayed campaigns across endemic countries. These setbacks risk reversing decades of progress. With cases and deaths still far too high, sustained financing, including a fully replenished Global Fund, is essential. At ALMA, we continue to support countries to close this gap through End Malaria Councils and Funds, which have already mobilised US$160M+ through cross-sector collaboration. #EndMalaria

Today, we held our #OpenBoardMeeting, where we discussed the need for a continued strong investment in the fight against #malaria.   Special thanks to @tdhschweiz for hosting us.

Congrats to #Suriname for becoming the first malaria-free country in the Amazon region! This is the result of decades of responsive and inclusive control programmes. However, maintaining this status requires ongoing surveillance in collaboration with neighbouring countries.

Yesterday, we held our #GeneralAssembly in Bern. Together with @ntds_ch, we explored potential projects to increase visibility for #Malaria & #NTDs. They explored possibilities for networking, advocacy, & raising awareness. Thanks to all the participants for a lively exchange.

"Malaria is treatable & preventable. Fighting malaria is a smart investment in a healthier, fairer, safer, & more prosperous future for all. To achieve this, we must rally increased global cooperation & forge stronger partnerships across sectors", says @DekunleCharles, CEO of RBM Partnership to End Malaria in this press release by @Swissmalaria 👇

La Suisse se doit d’être à la hauteur de sa position particulière dans le domaine de la santé globale, en continuant à investir dans la recherche, l’innovation et une coopération internationale plus efficace. #MalariaEndsWithUs #EndMalaria swissmalariagroup.ch/fr/stop-malari…

Pour parvenir à un monde sans paludisme, il faudra : - #Investir dans des interventions prouvées, - #Réimaginer nos stratégies afin de surmonter les obstacles actuels et - #Raviver les efforts collectifs pour accélérer les progrès vers l’élimination.

À l’occasion de la #JournéeMondialeContreLePaludisme, il est important de rappeler que malgré de solides progrès, la maladie reste un problème de santé à l’échelle mondiale qui fait chaque année un demi-million de victimes. 📷 Antonio Mendes, SMG #Reinvest #Reimagine #Reignite
