| Lifting the Burden of Malaria: An Investment Guide for Impact-Driven Philanthropy |
| Lifting the Burden of Malaria: An Investment Guide for Impact-Driven Philanthropy was written for philanthropists who are interested in going beyond charity by searching for opportunities to maximize the impact of their philanthropic dollars. Our multidisciplinary team synthesized data on effective malaria control strategies, considered funding trends and nonprofit performance data, and interviewed malaria specialists and public health practitioners to help you get to smarter decisions faster. In the guide, the Center provides recommended strategies to address critical unmet needs, in-depth case examples linking cost and impact, and practical advice on evaluating potential investments and assessing post-donation impact. | |

| Evaluation of malaria diagnostic tests by WHO and partners finds variation in test performance |
| GENEVA–The largest-ever independent, laboratory-based evaluation of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria has shown that some tests on the market perform exceptionally well in tropical temperatures and can detect even low parasite densities in blood samples, while other tests were only able to detect the parasite at high parasite densities. The evaluation was co-sponsored by the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific (WPRO), WHO-based Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) and the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND). Testing was performed at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Forty-one commercially available RDTs went through a blinded laboratory evaluation. The findings will serve as a tool for countries to make informed choices, from among the dozens of tests commercially available, on the purchase and use of rapid diagnostics that are best suited to local conditions. | |
| Affordable Medicines Facility - malaria (AMFm) |
| An innovative financing mechanism, the Affordable Medicines Facility for malaria ( AMFm), was officially launched. The AMFm will make the most effective treatment for malaria, artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs), more affordable and so has the potential to save thousands of lives. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria will manage the new scheme. | |
