Intertwine Malaria Control with environmental conservation in africa

Stakeholders on the issue of Controlling Malaria in Africa have been urged to intertwine the fight against Malaria and Environmental conservation.

Speaking  during this year’s  World Malaria Day in Kisumu , Bernard Okebe, Kenya’s Coordinator for the African Media and Malaria Research Network{AMMREN} says it is high time community Groups and various stakeholders look into  the nexus between Malaria and Environmental conservation efforts since the two are interconnected.

Okebe says preventive measures on Malaria should also focus on environmental concerns in the fight against the disease.

“This Year’s Theme is to Re-ignite and Re-invest on Malaria Control Initiative and it is therefore imperative for various stakeholders to do things unusual way in concerted efforts if the World if to triumph on the war against Malaria,” said Okebe during an earlier event that brought participants from the Kenya Nile Discourse Forum{KDNF}.

AMMREN’s Executive Secretary Charity Binka in a speech dispatched to Media Houses urged the Media and other stakeholders to fully re-focus on the fight against Malaria.

This year’s World Malaria Day has been marked today April 25, 2025 with a theme of Malaria Ends with Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite." 

This theme emphasizes the need for increased investment, innovative solutions, and renewed commitment to combat malaria. It's a call to action for all to re-energize efforts at all levels, from global policy to community action, to accelerate progress towards malaria elimination.
