Actionable Surveillance and Neglected Disease Control and Elimination (ADVANCE)
Malaria continues to disproportionately impact the health and livelihoods of marginalized populations across the Indo-Pacific. The ADVANCE program is committed to accelerating progress and sustaining the fight against this disease. Central to these efforts is ensuring reliable access to high-quality diagnostic tools, which are critical for accurate detection, effective case management, and advancing toward malaria elimination.

About
The ADVANCE program is working to bring forth a portfolio of high-quality diagnostics to ensure equitable access to effective malaria treatment options regardless of gender identity or disability status. By working with communities and national and regional stakeholders in the Indo-Pacific, the program aims to accelerate elimination efforts.
This work is being achieved through three key workstreams:
- Research and Development
- Clinical evaluation
- Availability Access
