39 African countries estimate the funding they need to meet malaria targets by 2015
13-15 February, Nairobi, KENYA: - With technical support from Roll Back Malaria partners, 39 African countries began conducting a detailed analysis of their needs and gaps for the period 2013-2016 during a workshop, organised by RBM's Harmonization Working Group. This analytical work will provide good foundation for developing proposals for the Global Fund's new funding model and will feed information about country-driven demand into the Global Fund 2014-2016 replenishment process. Participants shared information on other funding opportunities and mechanisms and helped to identify country technical support needs. The new data will be published in March 2013.

"Invest in the Future: Defeat Malaria"
World Malaria Day Theme 2013 – 2015
13 February, Geneva, SWITZERLAND: - World Malaria Day (April 25) is fast approaching. Each year, Roll Back Malaria (RBM) partners unite their advocacy efforts around a common World Malaria Day theme. As RBM zeros in on achieving the malaria MDG by 2015, partners have agreed on a 3-year theme to call attention to the big push needed in countries to end malaria: “Invest in the future. Defeat malaria.”
The WMD theme provides a common platform for Partners to showcase their successes in malaria control, and unify efforts in the changing global context. As always, Partners are invited to add their own specific messages to reflect their particular area of focus.
This year Partners are also invited to support #thebigpush campaign by linking it to their World Malaria Day messaging and communications
