“The #BigPUSH to end Malaria in Africa starts with me, with you, with all of us”.~ President Duma.
Reminding us where we stand in the fight against Malaria, he emphasized that “Malaria funding is a non-negotiable line item in national budgets & cooperation. That is a great investment in our future”.
The #BigPush is a 5-year, country-led initiative by the #RBM & partners to accelerate stalled progress against #malaria. It focuses on enhancing political leadership, increasing funding, scaling up innovative tools, & improving data-driven, localized interventions to reach 2030 targets.
