Unitaid Call for Proposals: Mitigating antimalarial drug resistance in Africa
Unitaid seeks to fund urgent measures to counter growing risk of antimalarial drug resistance in Africa and is therefore calling for proposals to “Mitigating antimalarial drug resistance in Africa“.
Under this Call, Unitaid will consider proposals that include support for the adoption and expanded use of artesunate-pyronadine (ASPY) and potentially other antimalarials as part of multiple first-line treatments (MFTs) strategies.
Settings of interest:
- Countries with evidence of partial artemisinin resistance
- Countries with concerns of reduced or declined efficacy
- Countries without evidence of partial artemisinin resistance or reduced efficacy
Impact we are seeking:
Through this Call for Proposals, Unitaid aims to improve access to health products of public health importance in low- and middle-income countries, and in particular:
- To contribute to diversifying the use of health products in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs);
- To increase their affordability in LMICs;
- To generate demand and increase their adoption and use in LMICs;
- To create guidance around multiple first-line treatment strategies for malaria.
