The RBM Partnership to End Malaria is the largest global platform for coordinated action against malaria. Originally established as the
Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership in 1998, it mobilizes for action and resources and forges consensus among partners. The Partnership is comprised of more than 500 partners, including malaria endemic countries, their bilateral and multilateral development partners, the private sector, nongovernmental and community-based organizations, foundations, and research and academic institutions.
The Swiss Malaria Group is an advocacy and leadership network striving to support the global fight for a malaria free world. Its members include the government of Switzerland, the private sector, International Product Development Partnerships, international organizations, academic institutions and a number of Swiss NGOs (swissmalariagroup.ch/members). The group’s common voice spanning public, private and civil society organizations sends a strong signal for joint actions against malaria.
