The 2014 GBCHealth/Corporate Alliance on Malaria in Africa Annual Technical Forum
On July 2, 2014, the Corporate Alliance on Malaria in Africa (CAMA),
in partnership with Access Bank, Friends of the Global Fund Africa,
GBCHealth and the Nigerian Ministry of Health, will convene a private
sector-targeted workshop to explore the integration of malaria and
maternal and child health (MCH) programs to provide a coordinated push
to drive impact and achieve the MDGs. The workshop will also look at the
improvement of vector control measures, with a focus on Africa. The
event will cover:
- Malaria control in support of maternal and child health goals
- Vector control and resistance issues
- Increasing investments in malaria control and elimination
- Building on private sector successes
- Malaria diagnosis and treatment
Taking place in Abuja, Nigeria, this invitation-only technical
workshop will bring together leaders from government, the private
sector, multilateral agencies, NGOs and academia to connect, share best
practices and commit increased attention and resources to accelerating
malaria control and elimination. The event is expected to result in
increased corporate commitment to malaria control and a strengthened
network of stakeholders working towards the common goals of reducing
malaria prevalence, improving maternal and child health and
strengthening overall health systems in Africa.
