What we do

We focus on developing, introducing, and evaluating new tools and approaches; optimizing the delivery of current tools and approaches; improving data use through enhanced measurement tools, metrics, and information systems; and strengthening endemic country expertise to create sustainable systems.

Key focus areas
We work across the following cross-cutting areas:
Health system resilience

We partner with ministries of health in malaria-endemic countries to support the development of resilient health systems by generating evidence to inform policy, strengthening the capacity of community health workers, and increasing coverage of proven health interventions–against malaria and other diseases.

Digital and data

We support health ministries in digital transformation—developing skills, systems, and governance—for timely and quality use of data technologies to improve decision-making across efforts to end malaria.

Epidemic and pandemic preparedness

Our investments in malaria have been leveraged to effectively to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging global health threats, including integrating multiple sources of data, applying mathematical modeling, and expanding surveillance and laboratory capacities.

Innovation and access

We work across the innovation and access pipeline—from generating new malaria tools to expanding access to current ones, through the analysis of market dynamics and policy windows.

Featured Projects
New Nets Project

The New Nets Project managed the rapid scale-up and widespread deployment of dual-active ingredient (AI) insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) to partner countries, making this novel technology designed to overcome insecticide resistance widely available to national malaria control programs (NMCPs) across Africa.

Malaria Control and Elimination Partnership in Africa (MACEPA)

Since 2005, MACEPA has been working with national programs to plan, implement, and evaluate a tailored package of interventions to reduce the burden of malaria and accelerate elimination efforts across a variety of transmission settings.
