Every year in early December, when most people are joyfully putting up their holiday décor, we are anxiously awaiting one thing: the release of the World Malaria Report, an annual catalogue by the World Health Organization of the latest results in the fight against malaria. This year’s report is evidence of the exceptional progress that has been made against the malaria since 2000. Here are five key highlights from this year’s report which came out today.

Over the last decade, malaria programs such as the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), and UN agencies have delivered over half a billion bednets to families in need. And we know these efforts are working – the World Health Organization estimates that more than 4.3 million lives have been saved since 2000. What’s more, deaths from malaria among children under five in Africa have declined 58%!

Have you had a chance to check out the annual letter released by our partner, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation? It’s exciting for several reasons – particularly because it addresses malaria!

2015 is a monumental year in the fight against malaria. This year, leaders from the United Nations are debating a new set of world goals for the next 15 years – and we hope that ending malaria will be part of these goals.

Looking over the audience at the Junior Chamber International (JCI) World Congress a few weeks ago in Leipzig, Germany brought back fond memories of my experiences at the 2004 Olympics.
