Year Event type Details Location
2003 Founding Malaria Consortium is established.[1]
2003 Expansion Malaria Consortium starts operations in Uganda.[2] Uganda
2005 Expansion Malaria Consortium starts operations in Myanmar, during the 2005 Malaria Programme Review.[3] Myanmar
2008 (March) Expansion Malaria Consortium opens an office in Thailand, to act as the regional headquarters for the Asia region.[4] Thailand
2008 Expansion Malaria Consortium starts operations in Nigeria. The organization would contribute significantly to the Roll Back Malaria needs assessment early in 2008, prior the start of SuNMaP project. Since then, seven offices (one in the capital Abuja and one in each of the six supported states) would be in charge of implementing SuNMaP project.[5] Nigeria
2008 - 2009 Over 1.1 million mosquito nets are distributed by Malaria Consortium in the period.[6]
2009 Expansion Malaria Consortium establishes an office in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, with field offices in Pailin and Rattanakiri (opened later in 2014). Since its inception, Malaria Consortium Cambodia would assist at both the provincial and national levels to strengthen the capacity of government officers and to provide technical support for malaria control and elimination.[7] Cambodia
2009 At the end of the year, it is estimated that Malaria

Consortium has protected over 18 million people from malaria through the provision of LLINs (mosquito nets impregnated with insecticide).[6] ||

2011 Malaria Consortium starts working with the Ministry of Health’s Department of Medical Research to support the first artemisinin resistance containment baseline survey in Myanmar, which looks at growing resistance to antimalarial drugs.[3] Myanmar
2011 (July) The Malaria Prevention and Control project launches in Mozambique. Funded by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, it is implemented in partnership with World Vision as the principal recipient, with Malaria Consortium, Food for the Hungry (FH) and Fundação para o Desenvolvimento da Comunidade (FDC), International Relief for Development (IRD), and Médicos de Mundo de Portugal, as sub-recipients. The project aims to support the efforts of the Mozambican government to reduce malaria throughout the country through scale-up of prevention and control efforts with community involvement. Mozambique
2011 Malaria Consortium becomes engaged in the Programme Partnership Arrangement (PPA) with the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) for £2.67 million per year until March 2016. This strategic funding would enable the organization to pursue activities that they otherwise would not be able to, allowing to maximize impact.[8] United Kingdom
2011–2017 Malaria Consortium supports the provincial and district education directorates to train 1,682 teachers in 700 schools in the provinces of Niassa and Nampula in Mozambique, reaching approximately 31,289 students on a quarterly basis with key messages on malaria, prevention methods and the importance of care seeking.[9] Mozambique
2012 Malaria Consortium manages to provide expertise on malaria prevention and control during the 2012 joint assessment of the response to artemisinin resistance in Myanmar and participates in the initial development of the Regional Artemisinin Initiative, supported by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. In the same year, the organization begins supporting the implementation and analyses of the first Myanmar Artemisinin Resistance Containment (MARC) survey.[3] Myanmar
2013 Malaria Consortium is invited by the Myanmar Minister of Health to establish a permanent presence in the country, providing technical assistance for malaria control and in particular through monitoring and evaluation (M&E) activities.[3] Myanmar
2013 (November) Project The project Pneumonia Diagnostics launches. It would cover Cambodia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Uganda. It consists in health workers using a number of devices to diagnose the symptoms of pneumonia in children under five years of age. These range from mobile phone applications, manual respiratory rate timers to coloured counting beads. Conducted by Malaria Consortium, the project is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[10][11] Cambodia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Uganda
2014 Project The ACCESS-SMC (Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention) project begins in the Sahel region. A UNITAID-funded project, led by Malaria Consortium in partnership with Catholic Relief Services (CRS), which supports National Malaria Control and Elimination Programs in seven countries (Burkina Faso, Chad, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, The Gambia) leads the first-ever at-scale roll out of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC).[12] Burkina Faso, Chad, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, The Gambia
2014 Malaria Consortium coordinates a study, aimed at exploring the barriers impeding the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) in Uganda. The research concludes that, despite a range of minor concerns, women and communities have largely positive views of antenatal care (ANC) attendance and IPTp. Refusal rates of IPTp are low and given the high ANC attendance figures, the main obstacles to the provision of IPTp are therefore likely to be supply-side challenges.[13] Uganda
2014 (December) Expansion Malaria Consortium establishes an office in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, as part of its ACCESS-SMC project.[14] Burkina Faso
2015 Malaria Consortium introduces the Integrated Community Case Management – Maternal and Child Survival (iCCM-MaCS) project in Uganda. Funded by British charity Comic Relief, the project aims at reducing the country's maternal and child health burden and to empower communities to take control of health issues within their communities.[9] Uganda
2015 Malaria Consortium, Raks Thai Foundation and Population Services Khmer begin collaboration on a program with aim at strengthening early detection and treatment of malaria through surveillance activities in Thailand and Cambodia. The project is supported by the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the United Nations Office for Project Services and local malaria programs.[15] Thailand, Cambodia
2016 (May) Expansion Malaria Consortium establishes an office in N'Djamena, Chad, as part of its ACCESS-SMC project.[16] Chad
2016 (June) Malaria Consortium organizes the first training of volunteers in a project to improve their communities’ health service in rural Myanmar.[17] Myanmar
2016 (November) Charity evaluator GiveWell includes Malaria Consortium in its list of top charities for that year, for the consortium's work on seasonal malaria chemoprevention, and publishes a review of the consortium's work on that front.[18][19][20]
