The world has proven malaria can be beaten: deaths have fallen, countries have reached elimination, and life-saving tools are working. But progress has stalled. With 282 million cases recorded in 2024, the trajectory is moving in the wrong direction. The malaria community must act with greater focus, coordination, and urgency, or risk losing decades of hard-won gains.
Big Push Against Malaria
Every push counts. Together, we end malaria.
The Big Push against Malaria is the global community's collective call to action for 2025–2030, uniting 500+ partners behind country leadership, shared priorities, and the urgency we need now.
A critical point in the fight against malaria
The gains are real. So is the risk of losing them.
Country priorities first
The Big Push is grounded in calls from ministers, national programmes, and regional leaders who are clear about what's needed to protect progress and accelerate toward elimination.
Connecting existing commitments
The Big Push is not a new structure. It connects existing tools, approaches, frameworks, and efforts into a single, coordinated agenda.
Protecting progress
In addition to pursuing eradication, the Big Push focuses on preventing backsliding in high-burden areas and maintaining coverage of life-saving interventions.
Building for tomorrow
The activities of the Big Push help prepare health systems strengthen coordination and build the capacity needed for quick, equitable scale-up toward eradication.
Just as mosquitoes do not recognize borders, neither should our efforts to combat malaria.

Big Push Against Malaria Pillars
Measuring progress and impact
The Big Push against Malaria was shaped by ~300 stakeholders across 170 organizations, from endemic country governments and regional bodies to global health institutions, funders, and civil society. It addresses 80–90% of priorities from the Yaoundé Declaration and the Lusaka Agenda and is structured around six major pillars.
Each pillar is coordinated by existing partners (minimizing reporting burden while maximizing coordination and impact). Together, they cover everything from strengthening country leadership to securing financing, building data systems, and fast-tracking new tools to the people who need them most.
