THIS WORLD MALARIA DAY, LET'S #DRAWTHELINE
On World Malaria Day 2021 we’re asking people around the world to Draw The Line Against Malaria so we can end this deadly disease within a generation.
This important day is a time to reflect and recognise the global effort that has saved more than 7 million lives since 2000 and supported over 20 countries to end malaria for good. This past year, as the world has tackled COVID-19, the fight to end malaria has become even harder. Now, we must protect the progress we've made against malaria to ensure no one is left behind.
Through innovation, investment, determination and commitment we can reach zero malaria. Let's use World Malaria Day to unite and call on our world leaders to act and create a safer world for all.
MALARIA, WE'RE TOO STRONG FOR YOU!

WORLD MALARIA DAY 2021: KEY MESSAGES
- ACCELERATING WITH URGENCY: In the face of COVID, we must do more to protect everyone at risk of malaria. We can’t focus on beating COVID at the expense of accelerating progress against malaria, a preventable and treatable disease.
- REALIZING SUCCESS IN ELIMINATION: Malaria elimination is possible and critical to fighting current and future diseases.
- SECURING GLOBAL HEALTH: Ending endemic diseases like malaria is the pathway to beating pandemics like COVID. Further investments in ending malaria reduces the burden on health systems and increases capacity to prevent, detect and respond to pandemics.
- ENGAGING YOUTH: Today’s youth are the generation that will end malaria.
CALL TO ACTION
This World Malaria Day, we must protect and accelerate gains against malaria and leverage malaria investments to fight COVID and emerging disease by:
- Surging investments in malaria programmes and building on the effective community health systems established for the malaria fight.
- Continuing to invest in collaboration and innovations including in real-time data and scaling up delivery of proven interventions and the research & development of new interventions that help us stay ahead of the parasite and mosquito.
- Promoting and facilitating safe and timely treatment of fever and increasing PPE supply for health workers.
- Empowering the next generation to hold leaders accountable for stepped up action to end malaria, a preventable and treatable disease that steals futures and kills a child every two minutes.
PARTNER RESOURCES
To support the World Malaria Day activities, there are already a number of fantastic resources from partners across the globe that can be downloaded and shared across social media.
