Africa is facing an intensifying malaria emergency, with rising infections, stalled progress, and a widening funding gap threatening decades of hard-won gains.

In response, global and regional partners have reaffirmed their commitment to protect the most vulnerable and prevent a devastating resurgence.

The programs include AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and to strengthen global health security.
