The TeamOur Malaria PST invests in innovation to reduce the burden of and eradicate malaria worldwide. Annually, malaria causes 250M+ cases and 500k+ deaths, and our strategy is to enable countries and the global community to achieve eradication in a way that saves as many lives as possible on the way. This means we 1) invest early in long-term development and deployment of new tools and capabilities to shorten the endgame, 2) partner with others to introduce innovations at-scale to drive down burden more aggressively in the short-term, and 3) support countermeasures to the evolution of biological resistance, which threatens the effectiveness of our diagnostics, drugs, and insecticides. We focus on high-burden countries and invest in the innovation to improve the performance, coverage, and targeting of interventions for all three, including ‘moonshots’ like genetically modified mosquitoes and vaccines. A fundamental enabler of interventions is accurate, timely, and geo-localized targeting. To improve this, we advocate for and support countries in their use of data, as well as invest in the roll-out of next-generation technologies, like molecular surveillance and digital transformation of country programs.
