REGISTER NOW: MARC SE-Africa webinar on strengthening regional responses to antimalarial drug resistance in Africa
Are you working on the topic of drug-resistant malaria in Africa, and you’d like to hear about concrete examples of regional cooperation for coordinated action?
Join our webinar to learn about the consensus-building process in East Africa that resulted in a regional action plan, and about how this example can be used for similar action elsewhere.
Webinar: Strengthening Regional Responses to Antimalarial Drug Resistance in Africa
📅 Date: 24 June 2025, 14:00 – 15:30 CAT (UTC+02:00)
📍 Format: virtual
Why join?
Antimalarial drug resistance is a growing issue in East and Southern Africa. It requires cross-border cooperation that includes the sharing of the latest data on antimalarial resistance and a joint, coordinated strategy to respond to the evolving situation. The MARC SE-Africa consortium has played a key role in facilitating a consensus-building process that resulted in a regional detailed action plan for responding to antimalarial drug resistance in East Africa. This strategic document was recently endorsed by the region’s ministers of health, underscoring the need for such collaboration and enhancing its potential impact.
At the webinar, Dr Eulambius Mlugu, a senior researcher at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, will speak about this experience and how the action plan was created. He will be joined by Dr Donnie Mategula, a research fellow at the Malawi-Liverpool Wellcome Trust, who will discuss how the lessons learned from this process can be applied in creating an action plan and strengthening regional collaboration in Southern Africa.
Who should register?
Anyone interested in how collaborative consensus-building processes can be used to create regional action against antimalarial drug resistance in Africa.
Participation will especially benefit people working on antimalarial drug resistance as part of:
ministries of health/government institutions
regional and national malaria control programmes
drug regulatory bodies
regional and international organisations
donor and funding agencies
universities and research institutes
non-governmental organisations
