While reliable data are scarce, hundreds of millions of people were likely infected with malaria, and tens of millions died.Beginning in the 1990s, senior health leaders and scientists charted a course for a renewed response to malaria.

Stepped-up investment in research and innovation led to the development of new disease-cutting tools, such as insecticide-treated nets, rapid diagnostic tests and more effective medicines.The creation of new financing mechanisms – notably the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the US President’s Malaria Initiative – coupled with a steep increase in malaria funding, enabled the wide-scale deployment of these tools, contributing to reductions in disease and death on a scale that had never been seen before.Robust political commitment in Africa was key to success.

Through the landmark 2000 Abuja Declaration, African leaders pledged to reduce malaria mortality on the continent by 50% over a 10-year timeframe.According to our report, global malaria mortality fell by 60% over the period 2000 to 2019. The African Region achieved impressive reductions in its annual malaria death toll – from 680 000 in 2000 to 386 000 in 2019.Countries in South-East Asia made particularly strong progress, with reductions in cases and deaths of 73% and 74%, respectively.

India contributed to the largest drop in cases region-wide – from approximately 20 million to about 6 million.Twenty-one countries have eliminated malaria over the last 2 decades and, of these, 10 countries were officially certified by WHO as malaria free.

Countries of the Greater Mekong continue to make major gains, with a staggering 97% reduction in cases of P. falciparum malaria seen since 2000 – a primary target in view of the ongoing threat posed by antimalarial drug resistance.A plateau in progressProgress made since the beginning of the millennium has been truly astonishing.

However, as seen in this report, the gains have levelled off – a trend observed over recent years.In 2017, WHO warned that the global response to malaria had reached a “crossroads”, and that key targets of WHO’s global malaria strategy would likely be missed.

Three years on, we continue to see a plateau in progress; according to our latest report, the strategy’s 2020 targets for reductions in disease and death will be missed by 37% and 22%, respectively.In 2020, COVID-19 emerged as an added – and formidable – challenge to malaria responses worldwide. In line with WHO guidance, many countries have adapted the way they deliver nets, diagnostics and medicines to ensure the safety of frontline health workers and communities.

I wholeheartedly applaud these efforts, without which we would have likely seen much higher levels of mortality.However, according to new WHO projections, even moderate disruptions in access to effective treatment could lead to a considerable loss of life.

The report finds, for example, that a 25% disruption in access to effective antimalarial treatment in sub-Saharan Africa could lead to 46 000 additional deaths.Reigniting progressTo reinvigorate progress, WHO catalysed the “high burden to high impact” (HBHI) approach in 2018, together with the RBM Partnership to End Malaria.

Zambia
The response is led by 11 countries – including 10 in sub-Saharan Africa – that account for approximately 70% of the world’s malaria burden.HBHI countries are moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach to malaria control – choosing instead to implement tailored responses based on local data and intelligence.

While it is too early to evaluate the impact of this approach on malaria burden, important groundwork has been laid.A recent analysis from Nigeria, for example, found that through an optimized mix of interventions the country could avert tens of millions of additional cases and thousands of additional deaths by the year 2023, compared with a business-as-usual approach.A better targeting of malaria interventions and resources – particularly in countries like Nigeria, where the disease strikes hardest – will help speed the pace of progress towards our global malaria targets.

Zambia
Increased funding is also needed at domestic and international levels, together with innovations in new tools and approaches.Crucially, efforts to combat malaria must be integrated with broader efforts to build strong health systems based on people-centred primary health care, as part of every country’s journey towards universal health coverage.It is time for leaders across Africa – and the world – to rise once again to the challenge of malaria – just as they did when they laid the foundation for the progress made since the beginning of this century.

Of the 239 000 malaria cases reported in 2019, 65 000 were P. falciparum cases. ■ The rate of decline has been fastest since 2012, when the Mekong Malaria Elimination (MME) programme was launched. During this period, malaria cases reduced sixfold, while P. falciparum cases reduced by a factor of nearly 14. ■ Overall, Cambodia (58%) and Myanmar (31%) accounted for most cases of malaria in the GMS.

■ Because the HBHI response was launched in November 2018, when countries were coming to the end of their funding cycles, it is too soon to determine the impact of the response. The numbers of malaria cases in the 11 HBHI countries in 2019 were similar to 2018 (156 million versus 155 million).PROGRESS TOWARDS THE GTS MILESTONES OF 2020 ■ The GTS aims for a reduction in malaria case incidence and mortality rate of at least 40% by 2020, 75% by 2025 and 90% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline.
