To support and facilitate the elimination of malaria from the Asia Pacific by 2030, driving implementation of the APLMA Leaders’ Malaria Elimination Roadmap by: benchmarking progress against priorities; coordinating regional action and brokering policy, technical and financing solutions to regional and national challenges; and, bolstering effective country leadership to expedite the elimination of malaria at in each country by 2030.
APLMA brings together not just health officials, but also senior leaders from various sectors. This comprehensive approach allows them to identify and address bottlenecks hindering progress. By facilitating cross-border collaboration and working alongside the Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN), we empower tangible elimination efforts across the region, with a particular focus on countries facing the heaviest malaria burden.
APLMA equips governments and political leaders with the knowledge they need to succeed. We provide access to regional and national data, best practices, and innovative tools, ensuring leaders have the visibility and resources required to end malaria for good.
APLMA recognizes that vulnerable communities often bear the brunt of malaria's burden. We go beyond national leadership, working directly with local health workers and community leaders. By empowering them with resources and training, we strengthen their capacity to deliver life-saving interventions and education to those most at risk.
The spectre of drug-resistant malaria is recognised as a public health threat requiring national and regional responses.
The 18 members of the East Asia Summit (EAS) unanimously agree on the goal of making the Asia-Pacific free of malaria by 2030. APLMA is tasked with creating and implementing a Roadmap for attaining this goal.
The EAS reaffirms its commitment to malaria elimination by 2030, and requests for a 5-year progress report on the progress made in the region towards 2030.
