How often a child dies from malaria in Africa

African Leaders Malaria Alliance

ALMA is an alliance of African Heads of State and Government working to end malaria-related deaths. This body was founded by African Heads of State to utilize their individual and collective power across country and regional borders:

  • Keep malaria high on the political and policy agenda at global, national and local levels; 
  • Provide a forum for high-level, collective advocacy to ensure an efficient global procurement system with an emphasis on funding manufacturing and distribution; and 
  • Provide a forum to share best practices and to review progress and address challenges in meeting the malaria targets.

Upcoming ALMA Events

In January 2012, ALMA will reconvene during the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

"By establishing ALMA, we are now creating a critical forum and mechanism for advocacy, action, and follow-up on the implementation of these noble malaria goals."
