RBM Partnership to End Malaria

---

The RBM Partnership to End Malaria, launched in 1998 by UNDP, UNICEF, WHO and the World Bank under the name of Roll Back Malaria, is the global platform for coordinated action against malaria. The RBM Partnership is active in all malaria-endemic countries, through its sub-regional networks and partners, notably national malaria control and elimination programmes, and its secretariat is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and hosted by UNOPS. The Partnership is comprised of more than 500 partners committed to end malaria, including affected countries, their bilateral and multilateral development partners, the private sector, non-governmental and community-based organizations, foundations, and research and academic institutions. Partners join the RBM Partnership on a voluntary basis, and their membership is free of charge.

Overview

The RBM Partnership aligns and supports affected countries, donors and other partner organizations to achieve internationally agreed targets for malaria control and elimination, map resource requirement and gaps, and lead in the mobilization of resources. The Partnership operates through its Partner Committees, which are responsible for formalizing, consolidating and amplifying the Partnership priorities of advocacy, resource mobilisation, and country/regional support. The three Partner Committees are the Advocacy and Resource Mobilisation Partner Committee (ARMPC), Country/Regional Support Partner Committee (CRSPC) and the Strategic Communications Partner Committee (SCPC). The governing body of the RBM Partnership is the Board. Board members serve in their individual capacity (except for UNOPS and WHO representatives) and are elected for an initial three-year term.

Vision

To achieve its vision of a malaria-free world, the RBM Partnership works in alignment with WHO’s Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030 targets. In addition, RBM’s Action and Investment to defeat Malaria 2016 – 2030 (AIM) positions malaria in the wider development agenda.

Strategy

The RBM Partnership strategy is updated every few years through consultative interviews and discussions drawn from the perspectives of bilateral and multilateral partners, affected communities, civil society and the private sector, among others. The 2021-2025 strategy was published in January 2021.

Impact

Since its inception in 1998, the RBM Partnership has played a critical role in global efforts that reduced malaria deaths by over 60% and saved 7.6 million lives, and since 2010, 11 countries have been certified malaria free (Algeria, Argentina, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Maldives, Morocco, Paraguay, Sri Lanka, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates and Uzbekistan).
