Addressing Africa's Malaria Burden
Malaria remains one of Africa's most devastating public health challenges, with the continent bearing over 90% of global malaria deaths. Children under five are particularly vulnerable, accounting for approximately 80% of all malaria mortality in Africa.
Our project focuses on modeling the health impact and cost-effectiveness of combining malaria chemoprevention strategies with the new generation of malaria vaccines to optimize intervention approaches in high-burden settings.
The Malaria Challenge: Key Facts
Project Rationale
Bridging the Implementation Gap
Current Challenges
- • Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016–2030 is 44% off-track
- • Projected 88% deviation from targets by 2030
- • Limited evidence for optimal intervention combinations
- • Implementation barriers in high-burden countries
Our Approach
- • Comprehensive modeling of intervention strategies
- • Cost-effectiveness analysis for decision-making
- • Capacity building for African researchers
- • Policy translation for implementation
