Roll Back Malaria Project

Our Partner - Roll Back Malaria

To provide a coordinated global approach to fighting malaria, the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership was launched in 1998 by the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank to provide a coordinated global approach to fighting malaria.

Roll Back Malaria and the Constellation in 12 Asian and African Countries

Since June 2005, the Constellation has been working with the Roll Back Malaria Partnership.

We facilitate the Mombasa Group, a network with members in 12 countries who are implementing the Malaria Competence process. The goal of the Mombasa Group is to develop Malaria Competent societies, where vulnerable groups stop to see malaria as a fact of life, and take the lead in fighting the disease. Facilitators help local communities to assess and use their own strengths to roll back malaria and to connect with other communities.

Participating communities are making a greater use of bed nets and malaria medicines. The evidence of the potential impact of the approach is growing. (Article Mombasa Group KM4Dev, January 2007).

The Constellation facilitated an experience-based Peer Assist for all participants of the Roll Back Malaria Global Partner's Forum V meeting in 2005 in Yaoundé, Cameroon. (Report Forum V)

As a result, the Constellation was invited to join the Roll Back Malaria Task Force in 2006 and the Malaria Competence Approach was integrated into Roll Back Malaria's toolkit and general policy.
