The first quarter of any new year presents the opportunity to reflect on the previous year while planning for the one ahead.
COVID-19 has presented the global malaria community of practice with many challenges, especially in the face of plateaued progress in the fight against malaria over the past four years. Responding to this challenge, PSI contributed to efforts led by the World Health Organization (WHO), RBM Partnership to End Malaria and the Alliance for Malaria Prevention (AMP) to develop guidance and to pivot implementation to ensure the continuation of malaria prevention and case management services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
