New York, 7 December 2009 - The RBM Partnership welcomes the United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/64/L.28 "2001-2010: a decade to roll back malaria in developing countries, particularly in Africa" whose draft was adopted by consensus on December 7, 2009.

The resolution urges the international community, together with United Nations agencies and private organizations and foundations, to support the implementation of the RBM Global Malaria Action Plan (GMAP). The GMAP is the first comprehensive blueprint for global malaria control and elimination.

"In adopting this draft resolution, UN member states have reaffirmed their commitment to tackle this disease and achieve the 2010 and 2015 malaria targets," said Prof Awa Marie Coll-Seck, Executive Director of the Partnership. "Malaria affects 3.3 billion people, half of the world population, and kills nearly 1 million per year. Most of those deaths can be avoided with the right mix of prevention and treatment," Prof Coll-Seck added.

In the resolution, UN member states call upon endemic and donor countries to strengthen national policies and to step up funding for anti-malaria programmes.

Monitoring and Evaluation Workshops Organized by UNDP
Geneva, 30 September - 7 October 2009 - Two Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) workshops (English and French) for countries where UNDP is Principal Recipient (PR) of GFATM grants were held in Geneva from September 30 - October 7. In line with UNDP's priority to reinforce national ownership in GFATM implementation, as well as UNDP's commitment to an exit strategy, participants included UNDP GFATM project-related staff and national M & E counterparts from 24 countries. The goal of these workshops was to strengthen the capacity of countries to best utilize the performance-based funding system of the Global Fund. More specifically, the workshops focused on M & E principles and requirements of the Global Fund, M & E tools, and harmonization and alignment to national plans.
At the end of the workshops, country teams identified three priority areas to be strengthened and developed a one year time-bound, results-based, country specific follow-up plan by disease for M & E systems strengthening (MESS). Each country delegation also set one target to be reached in six months. UNDP will follow up on progress.
The evaluations for these workshops were very positive and the role of the GFATM M & E team, GFATM fund portfolio managers, and technical partners (Stop TB, Roll Back Malaria, UNAIDS and WHO) in assisting to formulate the agenda and facilitating many of the sessions was instrumental to the success of the trainings. A collection of resource documents stemming were compiled by the RBM partnership and the Monitoring and Evaluation Reference Group (MERG). Staff from the WHO Global Malaria programme from the African sub-regions attended the workshops to provide technical support to the respective country delegations particularly in the country-specific MESS planning. They also facilitated a clinic on the new M&E toolkit on Malaria and the new surveillance guidelines.

SMS for Life initiative is launched in Tanzania
25 September 2009, UR Tanzania - "SMS for Life" Project Partners, Novartis, Vodafone, IBM and the Tanzanian National Malaria Control Program meet in Tanzania this week to launch RBM's latest initiative.

The SMS for life initiative is a new 'public-private' project that harness everyday technology to eliminate stock-outs and improve access to essential medicines in sub-Saharan Africa. Over the next 5 weeks more than 150 health workers from the three pilot districts of Lindi Rural, Ulanga and Kigoma Rural will be trained on how to use this new technology.

The overall goal of this project is to make sure that all malaria patients have easy access to the life saving antimalarials, (ACTs - Artemisinin-based Combination Therapies) and Quinine Injectables, when they need them.

If successful, this project could have far reaching beneficial implications for existing health systems. Stock outs of any number of essential health commodities could be eliminated and, for the first time ever, there would be visibility, timely tracking and improved management of supplies and prompt delivery to communities where they are needed most.

Malaria control contributes to reduction in child mortality
10 September 2009 - The trend is attributed to successful programmes to immunize children, provide them with vitamin A supplements and the wide distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets – a key factor in the fight against malaria.
UNICEF today released new figures that show the rate of deaths of children under five years of age continued to decline in 2008. The data shows a 28 per cent decline in the under-five mortality rate, from 90 deaths per 1000 live births in 1990, to 65 deaths per 1000 live births in 2008. According to these estimates, the absolute number of child deaths in 2008 declined to an estimated 8.8 million from 12.5 million in 1990, the base line year for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
"Compared to 1990, 10,000 fewer children are dying every day," said UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman. "While progress is being made, it is unacceptable that each year 8.8 million children die before their fifth birthday."

New study highlights AMFm pilot results in Tanzania
2 September 2009 - The Public Library of Science ONE today published the outcomes of a pilot study on an ACT Subsidy undertaken by the Clinton Foundation in Tanzania. The final results demonstrate that a subsidy introduced at the top of the private sector supply chain can lead to lower end user prices for and increased uptake of ACTs for malaria treatment. After one year, the proportion of consumers purchasing ACT rose from 1% to 44% and the average price paid for the drugs fell to $0.58, equivalent to the most common alternatives. These results also highlight several issues that will need to be tackled as this approach is taken to scale, notably the challenge on ensuring consistent availability of drugs in remote areas.

The Roll Back Malaria Partnership applauds the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Malaria, Mr Ray Chambers, for exceptional commitment and leadership after his first year in office
On 14 February 2009, Mr Ray Chambers completed his first year as the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Malaria. Mr Chambers has proven to be an invaluable advocate and strategist in the global malaria response. Mr Chambers played a key role in the development and launch of the UN Secretary General's call to achieve universal coverage by 2010; he also organized and hosted the MDG Malaria Summit in September 2008, which saw the unveiling of the Global Malaria Action Plan and garnered wide media attention and unprecedented political commitments. In addition, Mr Chambers was influential in the Global Fund Board's decision to invite countries to accelerate interventions and submit proposals that sought universal coverage by 2010. He regularly speaks to heads of government, other leaders, and an array of audiences, encouraging them to focus on obtaining rapid results and to treat the 2010 target as a deadline, not an aspirational goal. He also serves as an ex officio member of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership Board. The Roll Back Malaria Partnership congratulates Mr Ray Chambers for his tireless commitment and efforts.

RBM applauds Obama's commitment to malaria
Statement by the Executive Director of the RBM Partnership, Professor Awa Marie Coll-Seck

Geneva, Switzerland, 20 January 2009: On the occasion of today's US presidential inauguration, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership welcomes Barack Obama for stating his intention to "step up US focus on prevention and treatment around the world" in order to "rid the world of death from a disease that doesn't have to take lives."

For the estimated 3000 children who fall victim to malaria every day and for those who survive to suffer its debilitating complications, getting access to a protective net and a dose of effective treatment, at the approximate cost of US$ 13, makes the difference between life and death and between economic opportunity and abject poverty.

Over the last decade, the US has shown strong commitment to changing people's lives around the world through record investments in improving global health. The five-year, US$1,2 billion effort to combat malaria, launched by the US President's Malaria Initiative under the guidance and leadership of Admiral Tim Ziemer, significantly expanded access to life-saving interventions, key infrastructure, and essential knowledge and know-how.

The contribution of the US government has helped endemic countries dramatically reduce deaths from malaria, thus bringing the international community closer to achieving global health and development goals.

Key actors in malaria control are now aligned behind the Global Malaria Action Plan, a universally adopted blueprint, which lays out the short , medium and long term strategies to control , eliminate and eventually eradicate malaria.

Today RBM Partners are poised to create a sweeping and lasting change in the lives of the 3 billion people at risk by providing universal access to life-saving interventions by 2010.

The new US government could champion that change and see its effects on half of the world's population in a single term of office. I am confident that President Obama's leadership will result in continuous US contributions to the global fight against malaria.
