Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance

Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance (APLMA) is an affiliation of Asian and Pacific heads of government formed to accelerate progress against malaria, aiming to eliminate the disease in the Asia Pacific Region by 2030 and reduce the risk of other communicable diseases.

The need to engage and support leaders and finance ministers led to the creation of APLMA, using the East Asia Summit process to galvanize heads of government. APLMA also presents a platform from which to use malaria as an entry point for broader strategic dialogue on health systems and security.
