Dear RBM Partners,
On behalf of the RBM Partner Committees and RBM Partnership Secretariat, we would like to invite you to the 2021 joint Partner Committees' annual meeting's Satellite Sessions, which will take place virtually, during the month of March.
The draft agenda for the meetings as well as all logistical details will be made available here in the coming weeks.
1. Global Health Security and Malaria for donor countries
Tuesday, 9 March 2021
The goal of the WiM2021 conference is to highlight the outstanding contributions of female scientists in the field, provide equal opportunities of participation to WiM from the early stages of their scientific career, and guarantee inclusiveness with a balanced participation of scientists from various countries.
The successful grantee will support the development of the revised RBM AIM document, through a broad consultative process, resulting in its approval by the RBM Board in May 2021.
This will include:
1. Review of the current AIM document, identifying its strengths and areas for improvement, as well as opportunities to update information “Action and Investment to Defeat Malaria 2016-2030”
This year, due to COVID, we will be holding our annual partners' meeting virtually, While we will miss seeing many of you in person, we look forward to this format enabling even more partners - and numerous representatives from partner organizations - to be able to participate.
Africa’s first COVID cases were diagnosed in mid-February 2020. One year on, the African Leaders Malaria Alliance, Comic Relief and GSK will host an online event series exploring how partners across the Africa region have continued to safeguard progress in the fight against malaria despite the global pandemic.
The event will bring together leaders from government, civil society, regional organisations and the private sector to explore what is working in the fight against malaria across Africa.
Under the RBM Partnership’s strategic objective 1, “Keeping malaria high on the political agenda”, the Advocacy and Resource Mobilisation Partner Committee (ARMPC) works towards engaging existing parliamentary groups on malaria, as well as supporting the creation and establishment of new parliamentary interest groups in donor and endemic countries that may be specific to malaria or include other health areas, such as NTDs or vector-borne diseases.
The RBM Partnership’s Advocacy and Resource Mobilisation Partner Committee (ARMPC) includes a dedicated workstream on Innovation and Access (I&A) which aims to sustain and increase cross-sectoral support for investing in malaria innovations, creating demand for the most effective innovations, and supporting scale-up of innovations for the populations most in need of accessing them.
The RBM Partnership Strategic Plan 2021-2025 outlines the RBM Partnership to End Malaria’s strategic priorities over the next five years. It considers the current landscape – including recent progress made towards malaria elimination and challenges such as COVID-19 - as well as longer-term milestones, including the existing malaria targets set for 2025 and 2030.
