African Union Member States account for the vast majority of global malaria cases (96%) and deaths (97%), and overall progress remains stalled. Incidence and mortality have plateaued in most countries, and only 3 are on track to achieve the 2025 targets of the Catalytic Framework to End AIDS, TB and Eliminate Malaria in Africa.
This African Union Malaria Progress Report 2025 documents the risks of retreat at a moment of constrained financing and intensifying threats, but it also demonstrates that we can still bend the curve towards elimination with determined leadership, smart use of data, and sustained investment. The choices we make on enhanced domestic resource mobilisation, on global solidarity, on innovation and local production, and on protecting the most vulnerable will ensure that malaria is finally consigned to history.
