Big picture

Time period Development summary
1990s Malaria Consortium grows out of the early 1990s when malaria is an extremely neglected disease, whose control is still suppressed by the backlash to the failed global eradication attempts of the 1960s.[2]
2000s First years. Malaria Consortium starts as a non-government organization (NGO).[2] The organization starts expanding into Asia and Africa.
2010s Malaria Consortium activities are increased due to support of donors, partners and collaborators from across the world.[2] In 2016, Charity evaluator GiveWell includes Malaria Consortium in its list of top charities for that year.

2014 Research 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.[19] Uganda
