Global Malaria Action Plan
Sustained country leadership and commitment are essential in overcoming malaria. The Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership has developed the Global Malaria Action Plan (GMAP) first and foremost to support countries. The GMAP provides a global framework for action around which partners can coordinate their efforts. Developed through an intensive consultative process, it consolidates the collective input of 30 endemic countries and regions, 65 international institutions, and 250 experts from a wide range of fields. The GMAP presents (i) a comprehensive overview of the global malaria landscape, (ii) an evidence-based approach to delivery of effective prevention and treatment to all people at risk, and (iii) an estimate of the annual funding needs to achieve the goals of the RBM Partnership for 2010, 2015 and beyond. The GMAP is a living document: as approaches and tools evolve to fight malaria, so will the plan.
The GMAP outlines the RBM Partnership's vision for a substantial and sustained reduction in the burden of malaria in the near and mid-term, and the eventual global eradication of malaria in the long term, when new tools make eradication possible.

Summary of main features
- Purpose
- The purpose of the Global Malaria Action Plan is to foster agreement among all partners around the goals, strategy, and activities that the RBM Partnership will pursue, and to clearly lay out those goals, strategies, and activities
- Scope of interventions
- Many areas of ongoing work are represented in this plan. As they evolve, they will further influence the way that the RBM Partnership addresses malaria.
- Limitations
- This action plan is a living document: it will be updated with new information and will incorporate newly identified needs on an ongoing basis through the RBM website and through periodic revisions
- Output
- The plan will maximize the impact of the malaria community's work by guiding the prioritization of resources, strengthening the alignment, and bolstering the effectiveness of various initiatives. Heads of state and government, major agencies and private sector representatives, and faith and civil society leaders have united behind this plan to ensure full coverage of malaria interventions by 2010 and to achieve near zero preventable malaria deaths by 2015 as a major step towards ultimately eradicating malaria.
- Time frame
- The GMAP plots a course toward malaria control milestones in 2010, 2015, and beyond, and lays the groundwork for malaria elimination and eventual eradication with aspiration towards short, medium, and long-term targets
- Potential users
- The GMAP may influence the activities of partners and countries by supporting the definition of normative policy, the creation of country plans, and the development of implementation plans of individual partners. However, those activities remain the responsibility of countries and partners.
