The 26th meeting of the Malaria Policy Advisory Group (MPAG) – WHO’s top-level advisory body for malaria – will be held on 1–3 October 2024. Technical partners, UN agencies, and other members of the global malaria community are welcome to attend the open sessions, provided they register in advance. Registration will close on 30 September.
Co-hosted by WHO and the Government of Cameroon, the Malaria Ministerial Conference brought together more than 400 stakeholders, including Ministers of Health and senior representatives from the African countries hardest hit by malaria, health leaders, scientists, civil society and other partners. Ministers from 11 high burden African countries signed the Yaoundé Declaration, pledging their “unwavering commitment” to the principle that “no one should die from malaria.”
