Dear Partners,

Government leaders and international experts reiterated their commitment to intensify action towards eliminating malaria by 2030. This recommitment – paired with the energy from global partners on World Malaria Day and the recent updates from our Leaders’ Dashboard – makes us optimistic that together we can make malaria elimination a reality.
