About Malaria Consortium
Malaria Consortium is one of the world’s leading non-profit organizations specializing in the comprehensive prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable and underprivileged populations in Africa and Asia. Increasingly, Malaria Consortium’s interventions in malaria are effectively being integrated with other similar public health interventions for greater impact, thereby expanding the remit to include child health and neglected tropical disease interventions. Malaria Consortium works with communities, government and non-government agencies, academic institutions, and local and international organizations, to ensure good evidence supports delivery of effective services, providing technical support for monitoring and evaluation of programmes and activities for evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning. The organization works to improve not only the health of the individual, but also the capacity of national health systems, which helps to relieve poverty and support improved economic prosperity. And since the COVID 19 pandemic, Malaria Consortium has increasingly been involved in health resilience activities.
