Together, we can end malaria in Nigeria
In 2020, there were an estimated 64.7 million cases of malaria in Nigeria. On average, two of our brothers and sisters get sick with this preventable disease every second. 80% of malaria deaths are children under the age of 5 years old.
Malaria is a drain on our health, our economy, and our future. That is why we have come together to end malaria. Once and for all.
Who we are
We are a forum of national leaders from government, the private sector, and civil society committed to helping our great nation achieve its goal of controlling and eliminating malaria.
