"If you're not infected with malaria,
you will be affected by malaria."
~ Prof. Bernhards Ogutu
I attended the 2nd EAC Malaria Stakeholders’ Meeting, held by @IsraelinKenya, @jumuiya & @KEMRI_Kenya where we reflected on one critical question:
#AreWeOnTrack2030 #EndMalaria
The more we understand malaria, the better equipped we are to fight it.
Science, research, and collaboration must go hand in hand with advocacy if we're serious about elimination.
We continue to learn and keep pushing for a malaria-free future.

Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Kenya. At the 2nd EAC Malaria Stakeholders’ Meeting in Nairobi, Israeli and East African experts shared scientific knowledge and explored solutions to accelerate malaria elimination.
#AreWeOnTrack2030 #EndMalaria #EACMalaria
If we want to reach zero malaria in East Africa, accountability is everything. Tools like Malaria Councils, scorecards, and private sector partnerships aren’t just formal mechanisms, they’re how we track real progress on the ground.

At the 2nd EAC Malaria Stakeholders’ Meeting, Dr. Leila Kaze of Burundi’s NMCP stressed the need to turn commitments into action and ensure life-saving interventions reach every at-risk community.
Are we on track for 2030?
#AreWeOnTrack2030 #Malaria2030 #EndMalaria #KeMYC – at Nanyuki, Kenya
Malaria remains a complex and persistent public health challenge. Addressing it demands more than relying on existing solutions, it requires fresh knowledge, bold scientific thinking and collaboration that translates discoveries into practical interventions.

For Wakesho Nina, the fight is personal.
Having survived severe malaria as a child, she now draws inspiration from experts in Kenya, the EAC, and Israel advancing research and innovation toward a malaria-free future for African children.

At the 2nd EAC Malaria Stakeholders’ Meeting, Prof. Eli Schwartz stressed sustained prevention, scientific collaboration, and empowering local researchers to accelerate malaria elimination.
#AreWeOnTrack2030 #EndMalaria #KeMYC – at Nanyuki, Kenya
From understanding the parasite at a molecular level to developing better interventions, research must translate into solutions that save lives.
Let's turn scientific discoveries into action.
#AreWeOnTrack2030 #EndMalaria
Who funds the fight against malaria? Who owns the priorities? Who drives the action?
Our governments must lead. Our countries must invest. Our communities must be at the centre.

Eliminating malaria is a milestone, but sustaining progress requires long-term investment, domestic financing, and strong national ownership.
Continued commitment is essential to prevent resurgence and protect lives.
#AreWeOnTrack2030 #EndMalaria #KeMYC – at Nanyuki, Kenya
Malaria isn’t just a health crisis; it's a massive burden on the East African economy. We need a concerted front by all stakeholders to support local communities and boost our region's growth.
How are you contributing to the fight?

Technology, research & regional #collaboration are key to ending malaria by 2030.
Pauline Arunga of the Israeli Embassy in Kenya highlighted #partnerships with KEMRI and others to advance #innovation, #research and local scientific capacity.
#AreWeOnTrack2030 #EndMalaria
No child should die from malaria, no family should suffer its devastating effects and no child should miss school because of a disease we can prevent and treat. We yearn for a malaria-free future.
#AreWeOnTrack2030 #EndMalaria #ZeroMalaria
Climate action is malaria action. Integrating health into COP priorities can help drive stronger commitments to tackle climate-sensitive diseases like malaria.
THE TIME IS NOW!

Genomic surveillance is vital to staying ahead of malaria.
Dr. Francis Chikuse of Africa CDC highlighted gaps in regional genomic analysis and widespread insecticide resistance, calling for stronger surveillance and technical capacity.

Regional commitments must translate into local impact. This is a reminder that malaria elimination requires collaboration, accountability and sustained action. @MalariaYouthKE calls for action beyond the meeting room.
