Last week, we convened the Pathogen Genomics Funders Forum (PGFF), a meeting which brought together global funders, researchers, and public health leaders in Nairobi, Kenya, to advance coordinated investment in pathogen genomics across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). A clear message emerged – the future of outbreak preparedness depends on how well we align, invest, and act together. Key outcomes from the forum include: ❶ A stronger shared understanding of the genomics landscape and ongoing investments across LMICs ❷ Clear priority areas for funder alignment, especially in procurement and supply chains ❸ Identification of practical, near-term solutions to improve affordability, accessibility, and scalability ❹ Concrete steps toward coordinated action with defined priorities, success metrics, and next steps ❺ Renewed focus on translating genomics data into real-world public health decisions ❻ Direct insights from a site visit to @KEMRI_Kenya grounding discussions in real-world implementation As pathogen genomics becomes central to disease surveillance and response, this level of coordination is essential to sustain momentum.

For decades, the Programme has been at the forefront of malaria research generating evidence, shaping policy, and driving progress in the fight against Malaria. In line with the theme for this upcoming #WorldMalariaDay, “Driven to End Malaria: Now We Can. Now We Must,” we pause to reflect on how far we’ve come, the impact of this work, and where we must focus next to move closer to a malaria-free future. #EndMalaria #ZeroMalaria As captured by leading malaria researcher Prof. Bob Snow:

During the World Health Summit Regional Meeting next week, some of our team leads will be leading the charge on Africa’s most pressing health challenges: Byron Bitanihirwe on mental health research systems. @DorisWangariN on Climate & Health Systems Resilience.
