African Leaders Malaria Alliance

What African Leaders Malaria Alliance does

African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) is a non-profit coalition of African Union Heads of State and Government founded in 2009 with the stated objective of eliminating malaria by 2030. The organization functions as a political and operational convening body rather than a commercial entity, coordinating action across AU member states via Summit channels (including the 39th African Union Summit), World Health Assembly briefings, and direct engagement with sitting heads of state. The current chair is President Advocate Duma Gideon Boko of Botswana, who assumed the role in February 2025, succeeding H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia.

ALMA's primary product is the ALMA Scorecard for Accountability and Action, a tracking and benchmarking tool that monitors priority malaria, RMNCAH (Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health), and NTD (Neglected Tropical Diseases) indicators at the national level and enables cross-country comparison. The platform operates as a digital Scorecard Hub accessible to national-level health authorities and supports reports such as the 2025 Africa Malaria Progress Report and the April 2026 'A Big Push against Malaria in the Francophone world' report.

The organization is structured as a nonprofit coalition headquartered in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, with 11-50 employees, and operates with no pricing model or commercial revenue stream. Funding flows from global health partners and AU-aligned sources. ALMA's value to member states is its ability to consolidate accountability metrics, convene high-level political commitment, and advance sustainable financing advocacy (the 'Big Push' against malaria). The organization surfaces macroeconomic stakes — including a projected 750,000 potential child deaths and $83 billion GDP impact on Africa by 2030 in a malaria resurgence scenario — as the rationale for sustained political and financial mobilization.

Direct peers

• The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria: Major multilateral financing mechanism that channels donor funds into malaria (alongside HIV and TB) programs across Africa. Directly comparable to ALMA's Big Push sustainable-financing agenda and shares many of the same AU member-state counterparties.
• Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV): Public-private partnership focused on discovering, developing, and delivering new antimalarial medicines. Comparable to ALMA in its partnership-based model, malaria-specific mandate, and reliance on cross-border coordination across African endemic countries.
• Malaria No More: Non-profit focused on mobilizing political commitment and funding to end malaria deaths, with a strong Africa advocacy footprint. Comparable in mission (malaria elimination), in its use of high-profile political voices, and in convening donors and governments around malaria.
• Roll Back Malaria Partnership: Global multi-stakeholder partnership coordinating the malaria response across hundreds of partners. Closely comparable to ALMA in mandate (malaria elimination), coalition structure, and reliance on member-state and donor commitments, though it operates globally rather than Africa-only.
• End Malaria Council: Council of public and private leaders advocating for sustained political and financial commitment to end malaria. Highly comparable to ALMA in its reliance on senior political and business leaders and its focus on accountability and resource mobilization for malaria elimination.

Broad incumbents

• African Union: Continental political body comprising all AU member states. ALMA operates within and reports to AU structures (e.g., 39th AU Summit); comparable as the institutional umbrella that convenes the heads of state ALMA depends on for legitimacy.
• PATH: Global health non-profit working on malaria, RMNCAH, and NTD programs across Africa. Comparable in programmatic overlap (malaria, RMNCAH, NTDs) and in operating alongside AU member-state health authorities.
• Unitaid: Multilateral financing mechanism that invests in innovations to address HIV, TB, and malaria. Comparable to ALMA in its malaria-financing mandate, donor-coordination function, and engagement with African health ministries.
• Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance: Multilateral vaccine alliance pooling donor and country financing to accelerate immunization in lower-income countries. Comparable to ALMA as a global-health public-private alliance operating at the country-led, donor-financed intersection across African member states.
• WHO Global Malaria Programme: World Health Organization unit that sets malaria policy, norms, and surveillance standards worldwide. Comparable as the technical-norm counterpart to ALMA's political-accountability role; both shape country-level malaria programming across AU member states.
