SUMMARY:Securing a safer world: How Britain’s life sciences expertise can help end malaria
DESCRIPTION:During last week’s Labour Party Conference\, IVCC’s CEO Justin McBeath attended a breakfast roundtable hosted by Malaria No More UK. \n  \n \nThe roundtable offered the opportunity to present key voices from a range of speakers\, many with a strong background in malaria science to discuss how the UK can play its part more effectively in the global fight and why it is important that it does so. \nThe UK has been at the forefront of the fight against global diseases for centuries. As an important international donor\, the UK has led efforts to reduce the burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and across the globe. \nThe roundtable supported the recent publication of a practical\, evidence-based guide for how the newly established UK government can reinvigorate its fight against malaria. The pamphlet\, titled: ‘The Government’s First Steps to Ending Malaria’\, draws insight from global malaria experts\, including Justin McBeath who called for ministers to experience the innovation taking place across the country firsthand. He also highlighted how it is incumbent on the scientific community to equip policymakers with the information they need to make evidence-based decisions. \nUK-led research and innovation\, backed by direct funding from the UK Government or financed via multilateral institutions\, has played an important role supporting in Product Development Partnerships (PDPs) like IVCC; and in the development of new vector control tools such as dual active ingredient nets (ITNs) which averted an estimated 13 million malaria cases and approximately 24\,600 deaths in 21 countries between 2018 and 2023. \nContinued support for innovation in therapeutics\, vaccines\, vector control and diagnostics means that a malaria-free future is possible. \nBy bolstering international health initiatives such as the New Nets Project and Product Development Partnerships more broadly\, the UK cultivates a more secure\, resilient\, and prosperous global landscape. Investment in overseas aid for global health fosters international cooperation and economic stability. It strengthens diplomatic ties and reinforces the UK’s position as a global leader that is committed to the Sustainable Development Goals. \n  \nJessica Tole MP and Catherine West MP (Parliamentary Under-Secretary Foreign\, Commonwealth & Development Office) with Victoria Fowler\, Head of UK Advocacy at Malaria No More UK. \n\n  \nImage credit: Hugo Bainbridge/Malaria No More UK

SUMMARY:Revolutionising malaria prevention at UNGA 2024
DESCRIPTION:IVCC staff had the opportunity to attend this week’s UNGA and participated in several important meetings with various stakeholders to discuss the role of vector control in efforts to eliminate malaria. David McGuire\, Director of Access and Country engagement participated in a Summit of the Future panel discussion: From Concepts to Communities: Innovations in Action along with representatives from ALMA\, RBM and Unitaid. The session explored how a group of partners collaborated to develop\, launch and scale-up dual-AI ITNs under the New Nets Project and the Net Transition Initiative. Participants shared lessons learned and how they might be applied to accelerate access to other innovative health products.\n\n\n\nDavid also attended a session co-hosted by United to Beat Malaria and RBM\, Next Chapter of Progress: Localization\, Innovation and Partnerships to End Malaria. A panel that included senior representatives from ALMA\, the Gates Foundation (IVCC BoT member\, Philip Welkhoff)\, PMI\, SC Johnson and the Global Fund discussed promising innovations in vector control\, treatments and vaccines\, and acknowledged the importance of increased domestic and multi-sector investment in locally led research and implementation. Panelists talked about their optimism that a tool-box capable of achieving elimination is on the horizon\, and the need for the political will and funding to translate innovation into sustained impact. \nChristen Fornadel\, Senior Technical Coordinator\, attended an important meeting hosted by Malaria No More\, RBM and MMV\, Racing Against Antimalarial Resistance: Driving Global Action to Support National Response Efforts. There is a growing recognition and effort among partners to improve coordination and integrated approaches that simultaneously address resistance to drugs and insecticides\, including market shaping efforts to address the increased costs of new products. \nIVCC is encouraged that the challenges\, opportunities and critical success factors that have been identified within our new strategy are all prominent and recurring topics that are repeatedly raised by participants from countries\, funders\, civil society\, academia and the private sector. \nIVCC’s Board of Trustees Chair\, Sherwin Charles and Board member\, Elizabeth Chizema are also attending UNGA 2024.
