Coordination, Information, and Advocacy “There is an urgent need for a non- partisan umbrella organ to coordinate and facilitate the network of alliances and programs in malaria research and control…” Alilio, Bygbjerg, Breman 2004
Vision “The goal, once again, is to promote research by African scientists and colleagues elsewhere to improve our understanding of malaria, develop new tools to combat it, and, ultimately, eliminate this scourge.”
