About
Despite the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries around the world held the line in protecting historic gains against malaria this year, saving hundreds of thousands of lives, preserving fragile health systems, and keeping malaria at bay in countries with zero local cases. Since 2000, the global malaria community has prevented 1.5 billion cases of malaria and saved 7.6 million lives.
According to this year’s World Malaria Report from the World Health Organization, long-term success in reaching a malaria-free world within a generation is far from assured, with the highest-burden countries in Africa struggling to make significant or consistent gains in the fight against malaria since 2016.
With the launch of the report this Monday 30th November, we encourage all partners to help us promote the report findings and amplify a common narrative and unified messaging. You can do this by sharing content including posts, photographs and infographics on your social media channels once the report has been released on Monday, and beyond.
This toolkit has some suggested posts for you to use. Further collateral such as social media cards will be uploaded to this toolkit on an ongoing basis.

Today @WHO has released this year’s #WorldMalariaReport. Although #COVID19 has threatened our hard-won progress, the global malaria community continued to fight. With >90% of campaigns continuing in 30 countries, we can #endmalaria! Read the report: https://bit.ly/3q9KBhU
Since 2000, the #malaria community has worked tirelessly, preventing 1.5bn cases of #malaria and saving 7.6m lives! This tremendous progress is cause for celebration, but our work is not over yet! Read the recent #WorldMalariaReport to find out more! https://bit.ly/3q9KBhU
It may be ambitious, but with ongoing commitment, optimized use of current resources and new investments, we can #endmalaria 🦟 within a generation. Let's keep our eyes on the prize and reach #ZeroMalaria! #WorldMalariaReport @WHO
In 2019, global #malaria deaths may have decreased, but the overall cases increased to 229 million. By increasing awareness of malaria prevention methods and tools, we can bring these figures down - until we reach #ZeroMalaria! #WorldMalariaReport
Some regions across the world are continuing to excel in reaching #ZeroMalaria, despite the current challenges we are facing! #DYK that the Greater Mekong Subregion has reduced #malaria cases and deaths by over 90% since 2000? Congratulations! 🎉 @APLMA_Malaria
21 countries have now reached #ZeroMalaria since 2000, with 10 reaching this goal in the last five years! We must continue to build on the previous success of #malaria elimination efforts which have put the world on a path to #endmalaria. #WorldMalariaReport https://bit.ly/3qgAmIS
Elimination is within reach. In this year’s @WHO #WorldMalariaReport, more countries than ever have recorded fewer than 10,000 annual cases! This incredible progress confirms one thing: with sustained commitment we can be the generation to #endmalaria!
For three consecutive years, China 🇨🇳, Malaysia 🇲🇾 and El Salvador 🇸🇻 have registered no malaria 🦟 cases! This impressive achievement has been made despite #COVID19 sweeping across the world. Join us in congratulating these countries in their ongoing efforts to #endmalaria
Since the #HighBurdentoHighImpact initiative launch in 2018, we have seen overall #malaria 🦟 deaths decrease across the 11 highest burden countries. Cases have reduced in India 🇮🇳 by 1.2m, and in Mali 🇲🇱 by 800k. Congratulations on this ongoing work to #endmalaria!
It's vital that #malaria affected countries continue to protect gains made against the disease, 🦟 particularly as they fight #COVID19. We must sustain investments and invest even more funding for pandemic preparedness in the malaria fight and infrastructure. https://bit.ly/3qgAmIS
Despite progress-to-date, many high burden countries are struggling to make consistent gains in the fight against #malaria. The ongoing spread of COVID-19 puts millions more people at greater risk for malaria and threatens progress. Let's all #UniteToFight
Progress against #malaria is possible. We have proven this time and time again. As the #WorldMalariaReport shows, we can't step back, with half the world still at risk. 🌍 To achieve our targets, we need to increase commitment and accelerate progress: https://bit.ly/3q9KBhU
Every death from #malaria 🦟 is preventable. We must ensure we protect those at risk of this ancient and deadly disease, particularly pregnant women and children-under-5 – who are most at risk! Read the @endmalaria statement in full: https://bit.ly/3qgAmIS
In order to fight #malaria, we need the right tools and real-time data! By ensuring equitable access to proven tools, we can ensure those we need access to treatment can receive it and move closer to a world free from #malaria! 🦟 #WorldMalariaReport
#COVID19 has shown us the importance of timely, accurate and localized data 📊 and innovation to effectively fight infectious disease. 🦟 If we want to #EndMalaria, we must innovate and adapt our approach in real time to ensure maximum impact of limited resources!
The @WHO #WorldMalariaReport 2020 shows that while malaria-related deaths are in decline, #malaria cases have increased slightly to 229m globally 🌍 Every malaria case is treatable and preventable – we must now #StepUpTheFight to #EndMalaria! Read the report: https://bit.ly/3q9KBhU
Today marks the launch of this year’s #WorldMalariaReport from @WHO. We have made incredible progress against the world’s oldest and deadliest disease, even as we combat the threat of Covid-19. 🦟 However, the latest data shows more work must still be done. Make sure you read the latest insights from this year’s report https://bit.ly/3q9KBhU
Since 2000, the malaria community has worked tirelessly, preventing 1.5 billion cases of malaria and saving 7.6 million lives! In this time, 21 countries have reported zero malaria cases for three consecutive years, and 10 of these have been certified malaria-free by @WHO. This tremendous progress is cause for celebration, but our work is not over yet! With ongoing commitment, we can continue moving forwards and become the generation the eliminates malaria, for good! Read the latest #WorldMalariaReport to find out more! https://bit.ly/3q9KBhU
COVID-19 has demonstrated the important of timely, accurate and localized data and innovation to effectively fight against diseases! In order to #EndMalaria, we must learn from this response and adapt! This will help us optimise and maximise our malaria campaigns, helping us save even more lives! #WorldMalariaReport Read the RBM Partnership statement to find our more. https://bit.ly/3qgAmIS
As the malaria parasite and the mosquito continues to adapt, then so must we! We must continue investing in innovations that will help us stay ahead of a changing vector and parasite, particularly in the face of growing insecticide and drug resistance. This way, we can save and improve millions more lives and unlock trillions of dollars in economic potential and achieve a malaria-free world within a generation. https://bit.ly/3qgAmIS
Universal Health Care is vital to malaria elimination success. Yet, the most vulnerable populations still do not have access to the tools they need to prevent and treat malaria. Learn more in the @WHO #WorldMalariaReport 2020. https://bit.ly/3q9KBhU
In 2019, while malaria cases increased to 229 million, we observed a decline in malaria-related deaths – falling to 409,000. We must ensure that the awareness and use of tried-and-tested malaria prevention tools continues to increase. Each case of malaria is entirely preventable and treatable and we must continue to act in order to reach #ZeroMalaria!
For many countries, malaria elimination is in reach, and we continue to see incredible progress in our mission to end malaria! In this year’s @WHO #WorldMalariaReport more countries than ever have recorded fewer than 10,000 annual cases. This incredible news shows that with sustained progress and commitment against this ancient and deadly disease, elimination is in sight! We can be the generation to #EndMalaria! Read the @RBMPartnership statement to learn more. https://bit.ly/3qgAmIS
Congratulations to the Greater Mekong Subregion, which continues to prove that reaching #ZeroMalaria is possible despite emerging challenges like Covid-19! In fact, malaria-related deaths have fallen by over 90% in the region since 2000. Congratulations to all involved in this #malaria success story! #WorldMalariaReport
For three consecutive years, China 🇨🇳, Malaysia 🇲🇾 and El Salvador 🇸🇻 have registered no malaria 🦟 cases! This impressive achievement has been made despite #COVID19 sweeping across the world. Join us in congratulating these countries in their ongoing efforts to #EndMalaria! #WorldMalariaReport
The High Burden to High Impact initiative was launched in 2018, targeting 11 countries in the world with the highest #malaria burden! This year’s #WorldMalariaReport shows that total deaths across these countries have decreased!
