The Multilateral Initiative on Malaria was created after an international conference on malaria in Africa held in Dakar, Senegal, in early 1997. The main goal of the conference was to “strengthen and sustain, through collaborative research and training, the capability of malaria endemic countries in Africa to carry out research required to develop or improve tools for malaria control.” This conference marked the beginning of a new global focus on malaria research and capacity building three decades after a partially successful global malaria eradication program. In addition to promoting research on and institutional strengthening for malaria, the initiative was created to develop mechanisms and systems to facilitate timely communication of information to scientists working in Africa, enhance the capacity to conduct malaria collaborative/multi center research in Africa, and promote application of research results to address malaria control needs. This report summarizes the increased malaria research capacity and empowerment of African researchers facilitated by the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria through the Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Disease Research at the World Health Organization.
