Structure of Organisation:
The Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership was launched in 1998 by the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank to provide a coordinated global approach to fighting malaria.
The RBM Partnership has expanded exponentially since its launch and is now made up of a wide range of partners—including malaria-endemic countries, their bilateral and multilateral development partners, the private sector, nongovernmental and community-based organizations, foundations, and research and academic institutions—who bring a formidable assembly of expertise, infrastructure and funds into the fight against the disease.
