Since 2000, the world has made historic progress against malaria, saving millions of lives. Continued progress requires concerted action. Working towards a vision of a malaria-free world, the RBM Partnership to End Malaria convenes more than 500 partners to achieve more, together. Partners include malaria-affected countries, bilateral and multilateral development partners, the private sector, non-governmental and community-based organisations, foundations, research and academic institutions. The RBM Partnership to End Malaria works to increase political and financial commitment, strengthen programmes in malaria-affected countries and advance research into new tools and innovations to end malaria for good. Originally established as the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership by WHO, UNICEF, UNDP and the World Bank in 1998, the RBM Partnership is hosted by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).
