, there’s no doubt that thanks to your support, together with the wider global malaria community, we have made huge strides towards zero malaria in 2022. Here are just four of the highlights…

1 . Malaria vaccines could soon be saving millions of lives

While malaria is too complex to be beaten by any one tool, brand new malaria vaccines could play a major part in helping us end this deadly disease. This year the world’s first malaria vaccine to be approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO) - British-based GSK’s Mosquirix - has begun a wider roll-out among babies and young children in some of

At the same time, Oxford University’s R21 vaccine has had yet more promising results in human trials this year, showing it is 80% effective at protecting children from malaria. The same team who were behind the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine hope that the R21 vaccine will gain WHO approval next year, with India’s Serum Institute committed to producing 200 million doses annually.

Thanks to decades of research we have several more vaccines coming through the pipeline. In July this year, German pharmaceutical company BioNTech announced they will soon start human trials on ‘several vaccine candidates’ using mRNA technology – the same breakthrough tech that was used to fight COVID-19.

2 . Record breaking commitments to fight malaria

World leaders gathered twice this year to raise vital funds and make major commitments that will help bring a renewed push to getting the malaria fight back on track.

In June, leaders met at the Kigali Summit on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases in Rwanda. The summit raised over $4bn from governments, the private sector, and major philanthropists. This came on the back of a rallying call from young people around the world to end malaria as part of Zero Malaria Starts With Me’s Draw The Line campaign – which demanded investment and action to end malaria in a generation.

In September, President Joe Biden hosted the Global Fund’s 7th Replenishment in New York helping to raise a record-breaking $15.7bn to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The team worked tirelessly with our UK partners to secure a £1bn commitment from the UK Government.

While the overall amount raised fell short of the $18bn target, the replenishment will provide the much-needed momentum to bring an end to three of the world’s biggest killers.

3 . A new bed net is deadly to the mosquito

A new class of bed net that can kill a mosquito on first contact is proving to be highly effective at reducing malaria infections in human trials. Insecticide treated nets have long been the bedrock of the malaria fight, but in recent years they have become increasingly less effective as the mosquito became resistant to the insecticide.

These next-generation nets, supported by the Global Fund, are proving to reduce cases of malaria by 40% among bed net users. With millions already distributed, the future is looking promising.

4 . Deaths from malaria are beginning to stabilise

This months WHO World Malaria Report showed that while deaths from malaria remain unacceptably high, with 619,000 people still tragically losingtheir lives to the disease in 2021 (the most recent year we have data from) – they have marginally stabilised from 2020. Meaning global efforts to distribute bed nets and improve access to testing and treatment have paid off despite a global pandemic.

While it’s unfair that anyone should lose their life to this treatable and preventable disease, we can be hopeful that with renewed commitments and more funding we will see greater progress against malaria in 2023.
